There is still a lot of confusion about how rewards are generated in Steemit, so I decided to add a special section to steem.supply, in which not only I explain - to the best of my knowledge - how things work, but also give a few interactive tools for you to test this.
As you can see from the screenshot above, you can see how much SBD, Steem Power and USD you get for a hypothetical post with $10 rewards displayed in Steemit (or 10 STU, as I call them).
You can then slide the values of SBD and STEEM and see which parts of your rewards are changing and how much. If you want to restore the values to the actual market prices, just hit that button below the table, and they will reset.
Also, there is a moderately long piece of theoretical text, based loosely on this post.
As always, looking forward to your feedback, criticism and suggestions.

Lately I have been accessing steemit.com along with steem.supply. Makes it easier for me to understand what's confusing on the first. Yeah, they should lose the $. It's quite deceiving.

This is definitely a cool tool to add and you calling the reward balance that we see "STU" makes it make more sense. A lot of people on here wouldn't be as confused if they read through your writeup there.

There must be some other character in unicode to be found for this "$".
Maybe use an emoji instead of "$"?

calculates my vote weight incorrectly... says it's .50 ish when steemnow gives the accurate $2.15 for 100% upvote.
just figured you'd like to know (checking it out to include in an epic list of steem tools apps and resources)

The voting power is calculated in STU, not in USD, will change that, thanks for the heads up!

yes, and my 100% upvote is currently worth 2.15 in STU

After deducting 25% from the total amount, let's say the remaining is $75. 50% of that is SBD so it will be 37.5 USD. Now for SP, divide 37.5 with the current price of STEEM. That is SP for this post.

wrong: it will be 37.5 * SBD price, not 37.5 USD.

Does your rewards calculator factor in the diminishing returns for minnows who keep having the delegated SP lowered because we have ran into the threshold of the @steem wallet? I expect that with current demand in new user accounts that we have less than 22k accounts before the delegated amount to minnows is halved again.

On january 8 the delegated amounts to anyone who had less than 30 steem power in their accounts changed! Before January 8 if you had less than 30 SP in your wallet the @steem account delegated you enough to make your SP = 30. Jan 8 and after that rule halved, so anyone that had less than 15 SP in their account had the @steem account delegate enough to have 15 SP. I had friends that voted with 30SP delegated to them before Jan 8. They checked the rewards in your calculator which said they should get a reward but whe the reward time finally showed up they received nothing because poor planktons delegated SP was halved.

I also really appreciate your work on this project. I check mine multiple times a day. It would be cool to have 2 more tabs that count back up to 7 days for both comments and posts so we can check to see if they have cleared.

I think it will be better to do away with this dollar sign as it is causing a whole lots of confusion, @dragosroua it would be better if steemit can adopts its own sign or unit for the STU instead of the confusing dollar sign its using.
