How Much Have I Spent on Fortnite? How to Check, and What V-Bucks Really Cost
Fortnite is free to play, which is how it gets you. A skin here, a Battle Pass there, a collab bundle you had to have, and five years later the locker is worth a used car. If you want to know how much you've actually spent on Fortnite, you can find out in about ten minutes. Whether you want to know is a different question, but the number is the most useful thing on this page.
What V-Bucks cost now
Epic raised V-Bucks prices in March 2026. In the US, bundles now cost:
| V-Bucks | Price |
|---|---|
| 800 | $8.99 |
| 2,400 | $22.99 |
| 5,000 | $36.99 |
| 13,500 | $89.99 |
That's roughly a cent per V-Buck, a bit less in the bigger bundles. A 1,500 V-Buck skin is about $15 to $17. An item shop bundle at 2,800 V-Bucks is about $30. The Battle Pass costs 1,000 V-Bucks, and Fortnite Crew, the monthly subscription, is billed separately on top.
How to see how much you've spent on Fortnite
Where you look depends on where you bought.
Epic Games account (PC, mobile, and anything bought through Epic): sign in at epicgames.com, go to Account → Transactions. Every V-Bucks purchase and Fortnite Crew charge is listed with the price. Add them up.
PlayStation: Settings → Users and Accounts → Account → Payment and Subscriptions → Transaction History. Filter by date range and look for Fortnite and V-Bucks.
Xbox: sign in at account.microsoft.com → Payment & billing → Order history, and filter for Fortnite.
Nintendo Switch: Nintendo eShop → your profile → Redownload / Account information, or the Nintendo Account website → Shop menu → Purchase history.
iPhone and Android: V-Bucks bought through the App Store or Google Play show in your purchase history there. On iPhone it's Settings → your name → Media & Purchases → View Account → Purchase History.
There are also third-party sites that estimate spending from your locker. They count items, not dollars, and they include free stuff, so treat them as a rough guess. The store receipts are the real answer.
Why Fortnite is so easy to spend on
The item shop rotates daily. Items leave and may not come back for months. Every day is a new "last chance", which is the oldest trick in retail.
Collabs hit nostalgia. Marvel, Star Wars, anime, musicians, footballers. A skin of something you loved at twelve is a very easy $20.
V-Bucks hide the price. "1,500" doesn't feel like $16. And bundle sizes never match item prices, so there's always leftover V-Bucks pulling you back.
The Battle Pass feels like value. It can pay for itself in V-Bucks if you grind it, which makes it feel free. But it's also built to keep you logging in every day, and the days you play are the days you see the shop.
Everyone sees your skin. Your locker is public, in every match, in front of your friends.
How to stop buying V-Bucks
- Add up the number. Seriously. Write it down. Most people who do this stop buying for a while on their own.
- Remove saved payment methods from Epic, PlayStation, Xbox and Switch. Use gift cards with a fixed amount if you still want to buy something.
- Turn on purchase protections. Epic accounts have parental controls with a PIN for purchases. Consoles have spending limits per account. Use them on your own account too.
- Cancel Fortnite Crew if you're not using every month of it. It renews automatically.
- Stop checking the item shop. The shop is an ad. If you don't open it daily, you don't feel the daily "last chance".
- Use a wish list with a delay. If a skin is still the one you want when it comes back to the shop, buy it then. Most don't survive the wait.
If it's your kid
Kids spend on Fortnite more than on almost any other game. Set up Epic parental controls with a PIN required for purchases, and set console spending limits on the child's account. If a child made purchases you didn't authorise, Epic, Sony, Microsoft, Nintendo, Apple and Google all have refund request processes. Epic has also paid out refunds to parents under a US settlement over unwanted in-game purchases, so ask if you think it applies.
Put it on a cake instead
Cake, an iOS app in development, is built for the moment the item shop refreshes: put the thing you want on a cake sized by its price, and every skin you skip fills a slice. When it's full, you decide with the full amount in front of you. Usually you'll want something better than a skin.
