Like so many others here you probably did not read the Quick Start Guide (menu upper right hand corner)?
I would urge you to do so, there is some very valuable information there.

Payments
Payouts are made approximately 7 days after the post/comment is created.

The payments may fluctuate (up and down) until the final payment is reached.

Payments for posts are split between the author (at least 75%) and the curators (up to 25%).

The author reward is paid 50% in Steem Power, and 50% in liquid STEEM/SBD.

Authors also have the option to decline payout, or be paid in 100% Steem Power!

So yeah, the value of a post can decrease during the 7 day period.

well you are right i didn't read it, but it does not make sense to me,

5 votes = 55 $
17 votes = 45 $ 3 days later...

but thanks for the comment have a good one!!

I think the value fluctuates with the value of steem. So when steem goes down, so does the value of your post. And if you get some minor-paying votes, that won't do much to compensate the loss.

It's still a bit hazy goes the calculations work, but let's keep trying to figure this out.

You have fun as well.
