Profitable CS2 Trade-Up Contracts Today

We ran every collection through our contract engine at live prices from the CS2Price database: 10 cheapest inputs of one rarity → a random outcome one rarity up. Below are the contracts whose expected value (EV) exceeds the input cost. Profit and profit chance are computed from the real probabilities.

How it works

A trade-up contract turns 10 skins of one rarity into a single skin one rarity higher. The outcome is random, but the probabilities and prices are known in advance — so the contract's EV can be computed. A detailed walkthrough is in the article "How to find a profitable trade-up contract". Build any contract with live prices in the trade-up builder.

Prices and profit recompute automatically. Values are net of the sell fee; the actual draw outcome is random.
