This isn't necessarily true. You can earn more than $30 in contribution from bundled games, but only if you give away non-bundled games as well
Max bundle contribution = Non-bundled contribution * 0.2 + $30
If your non-bundled contribution is $0, you can give away $30 ($0 0.2 + $30) in bundled games before you are capped.
If your non-bundled contribution is $100, you can give away $50 ($100 0.2 + $30) in bundled games before you are capped.
...
If your non-bundled contribution is $4000, you can give away $830 ($4000 * 0.2 + $30) in bundled games before you are capped.
This system is in place so that people cannot just give away bundled games and farm contribution. If you want your bundled contribution cap to increase, you must also give away non-bundled games.

I'm sure. That formula is accurate to the penny. You have to figure out what your non-bundled and bundled contribution values are though, based on the games you've given away. Just because you had $330 in contributor value doesn't mean you weren't already at your bundled cap.
Total Contribution = non-bundled contribution + either your bundled cap or your actual bundled contribution, whichever is lower.
You were most likely already at your cap, which is why a bundle game did not add any contribution.
For instance, you've given away $300 in non-bundled games, and $100 in bundled games. Your bundled cap would be $90 ($300 * 0.2 + $30), which brings your total contribution to $390 instead of $400. If you give away more bundled games, you wouldn't see an increase to your total contribution since you are already at bundled cap.

If you start giving away non bundled games, you get 20% of your contributor value, until you have reached the point all of your bundle value is counted.
So yeah, giving away $100 of non bundle games will get you that other $20.

You will get $150, your bundled contribution is a running total. It doesn't drop off your extra bundle contribution after each giveaway.

Hello!
I just noticed that my contribution value is at $30.00, but if I add up the value of my (confirmed) giveaways, it should be higher ($37.96). Is there something I'm missing?
