Joining the steemit platform is one of the greatest things that have happened to me as it has exposed me to the world, built my mental capability, increased my relationship with people as I now have steemit family and most of all steemit has increased me financially. 

On the steemit block chain many activities goes on and you have to keep track of the ones going on in your blog. At my early days at steemit I use the steemnow.com to check my upvotes, Author and curation reward but getting to know about the steempayout checker, I find it more easy, interesting to use and it's more elaborated than the steemnow.com.

A little run down about the steempayout checker.The website has two major pages, a front page for searching usernames and a result page for viewing post payout analysis.

Steempayout Checker is an app on steem blockchain that helps to solve the ambiguity associated with knowing the expected payout of a user at any 7 day period which is the interval of payment for every comment or post made on @steemit.com, @utopian-io, @busy.org, @zappl and the rest of the apps that use the steem blockchain.

Steempayout.com helps users calculate the pending total payout of a steem user by taking into consideration curation, Sp and beneficiary deductions , which most users especially newbies don't understand. With Steempayout a user can plan ahead for his/her steem income, that is what really attracted me to steempayout.

The steempayout have amazing colour combination which I love so much, it gives you exactly the time your post is going to payout I.e the hours, minutes and seconds you need to wait with the appropriate amount of payout. Correct list of voters with percentage used in voting. 

Basic columns and their meanings. 
* Beneficiary : shows the percentage of deduction and fiat/crypto-currency equivalent of each beneficiary's payout.
* post link : link of the post made
* pending payout : total amount on post before converted to steem Dollar.
* voters list : list of everyone who curated your post from top to bottom I.e from highest voting power to the lowest 
* withdrawal time : time for rewards to be redeemed 
* highest giver : shows the highest user who curated your post
* your expected payout : this shows the amount in steem Dollar to be redeemed to your wallet
