How Are Transaction Fees Factored into the FPPS Payout Method?

Full Pay-Per-Share (FPPS) is an enhancement of the standard PPS scheme. Like PPS, it pays a fixed rate per share based on the expected block reward.

However, FPPS also incorporates the expected value of the transaction fees included in the block. The pool operator estimates the average transaction fees collected per block over a period and adds this value to the calculated PPS rate, providing miners with a higher, more comprehensive guaranteed payout.
