*Fortnite* is a free-to-play game, but if you're eager to enhance your experience with skins, you can indulge in V-Bucks. However, it's wise to keep an eye on your spending. Here's how you can check how much money you've spent on *Fortnite*.
How To Check Just How Much Money You Have Spent on Fortnite
There are a couple of effective ways to monitor your *Fortnite* spending: by reviewing your Epic Games Store account or using a helpful online tool. It's crucial to stay aware of your expenditures to avoid any unexpected surprises when reviewing your bank balance.
Why is this important? Even small, frequent purchases can accumulate quickly. Consider the story from NotAlwaysRight about a woman who unknowingly spent nearly $800 on *Candy Crush* over three months, thinking she had only spent $50. Monitoring your spending can prevent such shocks. Here's how to check your spending in *Fortnite*.
Check Your Epic Games Store Account
All V-Buck purchases are processed through your Epic Games Store account, regardless of the platform or payment method. To check your spending, follow these steps:
- Visit the Epic Games Store website and log in.
- Click on your username in the top right-hand corner.
- Select 'Account' and then 'Transactions.'
- Stay on the 'Purchase' tab and scroll through the list of transactions, clicking 'Show More' as needed, until you find entries like "5,000 V-Bucks" with a corresponding dollar amount.
- Record the V-Bucks and currency amounts.
- Use a calculator to sum up the V-Bucks and currency amounts separately to get your total V-Bucks spent and the total amount spent in currency.
Be aware of a few caveats: transactions from Epic Games Store's free weekly games will also appear, so you'll need to scroll past these. Additionally, if you've redeemed a V-Bucks card, it might not show a dollar amount. This method is the most direct way to determine your actual spending on *Fortnite*.

Use Fortnite.gg
As highlighted by Dot Esports, you can use Fortnite.gg to track your spending. Here's how:
- Go to Fortnite.gg.
- Sign in or create an account if you don't have one.
- Navigate to the 'My Locker' section.
- Manually add every outfit and item from the 'Cosmetics' section by clicking on an item and then '+ Locker.' You can also search for specific outfits.
- Return to your locker to see the total number of outfits and their V-Buck value.
In both methods, you can use a V-Buck calculator to convert your V-Buck spend into dollars. While neither method is flawless, they are currently the best ways to see how much money you've spent on *Fortnite*.
*Fortnite* is available on various platforms, including the Meta Quest 2 and 3.
