Same here. I was afraid we might be getting shortchanged just a little bit, but on closer examination, it’s almost certainly an artifact of rounding. It’s still a niggling little annoyance!

I have been trying to keep records of what I have earned on a lens by lens basis to determine which ones were making the most money, and this has been a frustration to me also, because it doesn’t add up. It isn’t a huge discrepency, but from an ex-bankers point of view, it is extremely annoying to not be able to quite balance!…lol (Yeah, I still put my money in denomination order, and facing the same way too….habits are hard to break sometimes).

It’s usually lower, but I did find one month where it was four cents higher. The discrepancies are small enough that rounding would account for them, yeah.

Thanks. When I first saw that, I was a bit frustrated — it’s not much, but over the years it does add up — but I think that must be the reason.

I think I noticed that too a long time ago, but I had to go back and look at it again. Using the last three digits. Squidoo says I had a total of 8.96, adding it all up in a spreadsheet I get a total of 9.04, and my paypal this month was 7.96.

Squidoo has this disclaimer right after the total: “Earnings totals are subject to a margin of error of up to $2 due to rounding variations. Actual payments could be slightly higher.”

Although, I ‘ve never seen the actual payment be slightly higher than the total, always lower.
