As you probably know STEEM is an inflationary cryptocurrency. This means that, unlike Bitcoin, STEEM doesn't have a fixed supply. New STEEM is continually being created to reward authors, curators, witnesses and Steem Power holders. In order to calculate how much STEEM is added to the reward pool per day we must first understand how the inflation rate works. So let me explain...
![steemaddedtopool.png](https://steemitimages.com/640x0/https://steemitimages.com/DQmdqYoFq7Y7DPjLkvAxWtTDjeWGViZSxXPguEx2KTapEpD/steemaddedtopool.png)
STEEM inflation
When Steem forked to version 0.16.0 in december 2016, an instantaneous 9.5% inflation rate was set at block 7,000,000. It started at 9.5%, but even the inflation rate itself is not fixed. It decreases at a rate of 0.01% every 250,000 blocks. This narrowing contineous until it reaches a floor inflation rate of 0.95%. This happens on block 220,750,000 and I hope we are all still alive by that time. It will take approximately 20.5 years.
Blocks? How does that work?
As you know, STEEM is a blockchain: A chain of blocks. Each block contains data. On the Bitcoin blockchain, for example, each 10 minutes a new block is added to the blockchain. This new block contains the latest Bitcoin transactions. The STEEM blockchain processes all data much faster than Bitcoin does. Instead of a 10 minute 'block time', STEEM has only a 3 second 'block time'. Every 3 seconds a new block is added to the chain which contains everything that happened on the network in that short period of time. Posts, comments, votes, transactions and so on and so forth.
![](https://steemitimages.com/DQmQXL5fs7yt4ibZWMYLxQwgZRHZ1wX6aCAUZ1RFLRg68Cm/image.png)
What is the current STEEM inflation rate?
Now that you understand what blocks are, let's calculate the current STEEM inflation. Here is the formula:
current_inflation_rate = (978 - (head_block_number / 250000)) / 100
'head_block_number' is the number of the latest block on the chain. You can find the current value of 'head_block_number' on https://steemd.com. Let's fill in it.
current_inflation_rate = (978 - (13,387,926 / 250,000)) / 100 = 9.24
The current inflation rate is 9.24%. As said, this decreases at a rate of 0.01% every 250,000 blocks (every 8.68 days).
How much STEEM is added to the reward pool per day?
Now that we know the inflation rate we can go back to our main question. Here is the formula to calculate the number of STEEM that is added to the reward pool each time a new block is produced (every 3 seconds):
new_steem = ( ( virtual_supply * current_inflation_rate ) / ( 10000 * BLOCKS_PER_YEAR ) ) * CONTENT_REWARD_PERCENT;
- virtual_supply: The virtual supply is the supply of all STEEM + all SBD if all SBD would be converted to STEEM at the current price. Go to https://steemd.com again to find the current value.
- current_inflation_rate: The value we just calculated.
- BLOCKS_PER_YEAR: A fixed value of 10,512,000. 1 new block every 3 seconds, makes 10,512,000 new blocks annually
- CONTENT_REWARD_PERCENT: 75% goes to authors and curators. 15% goes to witnesses and 10% goes to SP holders.
new_steem = ( ( 252,970,254 * 924 ) / ( 10000 * 10,512,000 ) ) * 0.75 = 1.66769773613 STEEM;
So each time a new block has been produced, 1.668 STEEM is added to the reward pool.
- Every 3 seconds: 1.668 STEEM
- Every minute: 33.354 STEEM
- Every hour: 2,001.237 STEEM
- Every day: 48,029.695 STEEM

Answer to our question:
About 48,029 fresh STEEM will be added to the reward pool today, but because it depends on multiple factors it might be slightly higher or lower tomorrow.

Good article.
Just one thing, Bitcoin is also inflationary - current inflation rate is 3.91% per annum (http://www.bitcoinblockhalf.com/) - and will taper towards 0% in 2020. Bitcoin is called deflationary not because it has negative inflation but because its inflation rate is decreasing (yet positive). Steem's inflation rate is also programmed to decrease over time but (wisely) left to be constant just above zero.
Nobody really knows what the reaction will be to Bitcoin when there is nothing left to mine and the "miners"/processors are funded merely from transaction fees. Maybe that controlled experiment will be over and people will gratefully accept the new centralbankcoin.

Solid point on BTC also being inflationary, albeit decreasing at a very quick pace. The transition process for Bitcoin from mining fees to transactions fees should be gradual and organic, not like simply hitting a junction where a moment of decision is required on the spot... that is if we can survive through the upcoming forks of course ;-)

Im still a bit new here, only been here for exactly 7 days now... what exactly is the reward pool for?
is it something that is evenly divided amongst each steemit user after a certain period?
or is it somthing that is given out to certain people who create a certain amount of content?
thanks in advance for any answer :)

Thanks for your question. I actually should have explained that in my article as well ;)
The reward pool is a virtual pool that contains all STEEM available to be distributed as rewards. To put it short, the more STEEM in the pool, the higher the rewards.

Wow another wonderful article full of gold! Thank you.
Now one question. After reading your previous article on how the rshare claims work and now seeing how much STEEM is added to the pool, what determines how much of the total available STEEM Pool is actually delivered as rewards per day? Clearly the entire Pool is not emptied on a daily basis so there must be some limit attached to this which allows the pool to be drained without being emptied entirely.
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:
Submit
Good question. In short: The reward pool itself.
The reward pool is used to calculate the value (number of rshares) that is added to a post when the post receives an upvote. The lower the reward pool, the lower the number of rshares that is added. So a lower reward pool eventually reduces the rewards being subtracted from the pool itself.
I hope you understand what I mean. It's quite complicated :S

Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:

Actually, the price shouldn't drop simply because of the inflationary rate. That would assume a static environment. The userbase is growing faster than STEEM can inflate, hence demand for STEEM is also increasing. As a result it'll push the price upwards. Additionally payouts in USD should ideally stabilize to a certain acceptable level forcing the value of STEEM to appreciate to maintain that level as the amount of STEEM payouts declines with the rise of users making claims on it for authoring and curating. All theoretical but it's typically what we see in economies like this.

How does the price of Steem rise in value if we keep "Printing" Money? Kinda funny but a serious question. The way I see it, if 10 steem is worth $10 and we make 10 more steem doesn't the value still equal $10, so each steem is now worth half as much? If this is a total noob question, just ignore me.

To your Steem Power balance.
It's a bit technical to explain. Actually, SP holders are holders of VESTS. Your SP is calculated by multiplying the amount of VESTS by 483.452 (Current value of 'steem_per_mvests' on steemd.com). By slightly increasing this value overtime all VESTS holders see their amount of SP increasing.

So does that get directly paid to SP holders, or put back in some sort of pool causing an inflationary effect?

Technically, SP holders are holders of VESTS. Your SP is calculated by multiplying the amount of VESTS by 483.452 (Current value of 'steem_per_mvests' on steemd.com). By slightly increasing this value overtime all VESTS holders see their amount of SP increasing.

Interesting... So steem_per_mvests is what increases, which increases the value of held VESTS... Thakn you so much for your insight!

Hi, I just came across this post and found it interesting. I have a question tho, if a whale decides to have another account, couldnt he just reward himself indefinitely with Steem/SP from the reward pool?

So steemit is sort of like the Federal Reserve, they can print as much STEEM as they want, just so long as it's distributed according to agreed upon rules, via upvotes and such. @ironshield

Do you know how the progress , the new STEEM is created and distributed to reward pool, vesting fund and witness, is recorded in the blockchain?

Discovering this little gem one year later ... On steemd I don't see virtual supply but I do see "current supply" which looks pretty close. Although, if I use it then the actual numbers do not quite fit. Then again, we are in HF 19 so the configuration has certainly changed
10% of the steem created goes to block producers (witnesses). That would be 0.253 SP now per block yet the Top 20 get 0.204 SP instead - probably this has changed in one of the HFs after 16. For block producers outside Top 20 the reward is bigger, at 1.02 SP
15% goes to holders of SP - I don't see an easy way to check that
1.903 steem would then go into the reward pool with each block (if the parameters haven't changed)

Read it one year late and I've got a remark/question on the last formula:
Why did you put in 924 and not 9.24 (calculated inflation rate according to your formula) for current_inflation_rate?

so how is it that those with higher influence numbers earn more money ? is it only based on how much SP they have? i would like to see how to earn significant money besides finding a whale curation trial to follow me> anyway i don't mind too much about the money as long as my audience grows in time

It is actually the other way around. Users who earn more money are likely to have a higher reputation number and more SP. Having a higher reputation number doesn't automaticly make you earn more money. It depends more on 'building a following' like on other social networks.

This is a brilliant explanation. Your posts are answering the questions that I was seeking a few months back. If only I had found it back then, would have saved me a lot of time :P
Thank you for the post. I'm sure it'll be helpful to many more people to understand the calculations better.
