An external program? Really? This cries for some JavaScript.
Besides the main problem is to find out what of your giveawys are actually bundle-games. Because even though a game is not on the bundle-list when creating a giveaway, it might be added to that list retroactively.
Since the site is calculating them anyway, I am not sure why they are not shown on the profile page.

Cool but I didn't find contribution confusing :x
After the first $30 of bundled contribution, you get at most $1 bundle contribution per $5 non-bundled.
In other words: Take your non-bundle contribution and divide by 5. Then add $30. That is your max effective contribution coming from bundled games.

The main point is don't give the game away for nothing unless you are just feeling overly generous. Wait until you are in a group that requires a giveaway to stay a member. Or if you don't have the game, activate it yourself. I got .02 cents for 2 games. What a jip.

The site suggests both "moral" tracks. Minimum contributor value giveaways, for example.

What we really need is to have 3 stats in our profile: Non-bundled contribution, Bundled contribution, and Total Contribution.

Hi guys, so this days i've seen post on SG forum about the contirubutor value, post like "stuck in 30$ contributor value" and found that the explanation in the forum threads about the rules of bundle games giveaway and value, it's some of confusing to the ppl and even for me understand the math behind this rule. So i pull together a little windows program to calculate how much non-bundles games you need to gift in order to achieve the full bundle contributor value.
The program it's quite simple as you can see on this screenshot. just imput the amount of $$ you giveaway for non-bundles games and for bundles games and click "calculate".
You can get the program from this link
Feel free to let me know what you think about it.
PS: if you get an error try to use "," for decimals like "9,99"
