##### Right now, Default (50% SBD / 50% SP) post reward has 33.57% more payout than Power Up 100%.

## Why this information
I am providing this information for those who would like to compare different post reward payouts and pick up the best one when they create blogs and comments.

## Three Options
There are three available options for blog post rewards and comment post rewards:

* Decline Payout
* Default (50% SBD / 50% SP)
* Power Up 100%

Which option would give you the best overall payout? Well, we know it is not Decline Payout for sure. How about between Default (50% SBD / 50% SP) and Power Up 100%? The answer is it depends.

It depends on the SBD and Steem prices as well as steem_to_sbd ratio at the payout time. Let us take a look at the equations of how payout is calculated first.

## Equations

#### For Default (50% SBD / 50% SP):
* Author Rewards SBD = author_payout * 50%
* Author Rewards SP = author_payout * 50% / steem_to_sbd

#### For Power Up 100%:
* Author Rewards SP = author_payout * 100% / steem_to_sbd

Please note that the payout is calculated at the payout time using the Blockchain variable steem_to_sbd exactly 7 days after you create a post, not when you create a post.

### Below are current market prices of SBD and Steem in USD, as well as sbd_to_steem ratio from the Blockchain.

|SBD Price|1.73164|
|Steem Price|2.43051|
|steem_to_sbd|2.346|

Let us assume the author reward portion of the post payout is $1. I then use the equations above to calculate the payouts and convert them to a common currency USD for comparison. You can use any other currencies for comparision.

* Default (50% SBD / 50% SP): $1.38 USD
* Power Up 100%: $1.04 USD
