Does buying a game in steam count towards the amount of money you have spent in steam separately?
What I mean is, after adding S$6 worth of funds to my steam wallet, I have only spent $4.26 USD in total in Steam, which is not enough to make my account unlimited(mus spend 5 USD). So for example, if I buy a steam game that is worth 1 USD from steam, would the total amount spent still reamin as 4.26 USD, or would it increase to 5.26 USD?(thus making my account unlimited)

The amount spent is cumulative, it will be 5.26$.

You may want to double check your conversions though, 6$S is 4.19$US. If you want 5$US you need to spend 7.15$S

Money you add to your Steam wallet counts. Were tue 6$ US Dollars or something else?
To answer your question: Money that you spend counts. If you want to buy a 1$ game from your wallet, that won't count as you already spend it.

um conflicting answers, any clarification?
as for conversions, yes i know that S$6 is 4.19 USD, but in steam it says i have spent 4.26 USD, idk whats happening

UPDATE:
if i spent 4.26 USD, that would mean i spent S$6.09 on steam, but all i ever did was add S$6 to my steam wallet... unless clicking on the multiple S$0.03 items from TF2 available on the steam community market somehow did soemthing...

I misread what you originally posted.
Adding 5$ to your wallet and then spending that 5$ will not count as 10$, it will only count as 5$ since that is all Valve has received from your bank.

Buying a 5$ game today and then a 5$ game tomorrow will count as 10$ since Valve has received 10$ from your bank.

ok, so i can't get unlimited account... but if i just want to get TF2 premium, i just have to buy something from the store right? at first i tried buying the cheapest thing (a mayflower cosmetic case), and it had to be bought from the community market, and i thoguht all items are like that. but i just found out you can directly purchase other items sucha s weapons (right?), so does that mean i still can get tf2 premium without needing to get and unlimited steam account?

I have the same question. I have added 5$ CDN to my account and it says you have spent 3.73$ USD. If I buy a 4$ CDN game will the spent amount increase to 5$ USD?

If you buy it with funds other than your Steam wallet, yes. Money cards, credit/debit cards, banking transmissions. As long as you add money to your Steam account in some way yourself...

If the amount you add totals to more than $5 USD altogether, yes.

Ask yourself the following question: If you've spent 3,74$ on Steam and will use some of the money you've spent, will that make you have spent more money?
