In his post trying to solve the mystery of the Steemit rewards, even for a 9 year old, the steemian Ilyas Tarar (@ilyastarar) explained that all the rewards on your posts and comments are shown with an amount preceded by $ sign. This $ does not mean US dollars (USD) and is mentioned only for the sake of ease, probably because the whole globe recognizes the $ symbol (and loves it?). The amount mentioned with $ sign is actually Steem Dollar (SBD), not US dollars. You will not be paid out in just SBD though. Your rewards will be converted to STEEM Power (SP) and Steem Dollar (SBD) depending on whether you want both or just the SP.[1] The Steemit FAQ defines that the amount that is shown next to a post is a "Potential Payout".[2]

Potential Payout

Taken from the Steemit FAQ definition, Potential Payout is an estimated value of how much money the post will make based on the votes that have occurred so far. Depending on various factors, this value can go up or down until the payout window closes:

  • If a post receives more upvotes, the potential payout of the post can go up.
  • If a post receives more downvotes, the potential payout of the post can go down.
  • If other posts receive more upvotes, the potential payout of the post can go down.
  • If other posts receive more downvotes, the potential payout of the post can go up.
  • If upvotes are removed from a post, the potential payout of the post can go down.
  • If downvotes are removed from a post, the potential payout of the post can go up.
  • If the price of STEEM goes up, the potential payout of all posts can go up.
  • If the price of STEEM goes down, the potential payout of all posts can go down.[2]

Curation, authoring and 7 day window

In another post, this time trying to explain for a 5 year old, the steemian Aggroed (@aggroed) wrote that the folks who are authoring a brand new post are considered authors. The people that are upvoting and commenting on posts are called curators. The total reward for a post doesn't all go to the author. 25% of the rewards goes back to the curator. 75% of the rewards goes back to the author.

He also reminds that there's a weird side note to this. Suggesting thinking of it kinda like investing... people that invest in a post early benefit from the upvotes that happen afterward. If you're within the first 30 minutes some of your curation reward will actually credit back to the author. After 30 minutes, Aggroed continues, you'll get the full curation reward, but you might miss out on some of the big votes that come through. So, timing your curation matters too. If you're a minnow starting out, it doesn't really matter all that much... but as a dolphin I like to time my upvotes to be around the 20-30 minute mark, unless I think a post is going to blast off and then I think it works out to get in early.[3]

In another tutorial (with infographics) published by Sndbox (@sndbox), there is an explanation that each post and each comment is "paid out" after a 7 day window. When you receive a payout, you are actually receiving around 75% - 80% of the post amount. According them it is because the people who have upvoted your post receive rewards too! These supporters of yours are called "curators" and the remaining 20% - 25% is split among them in proportion to how much strength they put towards your post.[4]

The Steemit FAQ details that posts and comments remain active for 7 days. When the period is over, you are able to claim their earned rewards. In your Wallet, click the Claim Rewards button to add the tokens to your account.[5]

Steem reward system exact calculations

After investigating for a long time but without find a clear answer, steemian and mathematician Julián González (@jga) decided to study directly the source code of Steem, something a little complex, but he achieved it. He published the results of this research on Steemit and in Steem.center, which he suppose will be of great help to many. See here in: Rewards:Formulas[6] and Rewards:Infographic[7]
