How the live ratio is calculated
TF2Bolt reads the current buy and sell references for the Mann Co. Supply Crate Key. When both refined-metal sides are available, their midpoint defines the working refined-per-key ratio used for conversions. If live data is temporarily unavailable, the interface labels the returned rate as a fallback rather than pretending it is live.
Converting keys and refined metal
For a quote expressed as keys plus refined metal, the key equivalent is calculated as keys + (refined ÷ refined-per-key). Keeping that formula consistent matters because even a small difference in the assumed refined-per-key rate can move the displayed value of an expensive inventory.
Why TF2Bolt uses the same unit everywhere
Price Checker, deposit valuation and attachment calculations should not use competing definitions of one key. The live key reference exists specifically to keep those pages on the same TF2-denominated basis.
Common questions
How many refined metal is one TF2 key worth?
Use the refined-per-key reference displayed above. It changes with the market. Multiply keys by that rate to get refined metal, or divide refined metal by the rate to get keys.
How do I convert reclaimed and scrap metal?
One refined metal equals three reclaimed or nine scrap. One reclaimed equals three scrap. The calculator accepts each of these units.
Is the displayed key ratio a guaranteed trade price?
No. It is a pricing reference. Buy and sell quotes can differ, and a fallback or last available ratio is labelled when a current quote is unavailable.
