I’m new to graph, and I’m looking to delegate on one of the indexers. So is reward cut % the amount that will be taken from the delegators total reward(myself)? Or is this the delegators total rewards after fees?

For all the info regarding Delegation, you can have a look at **The Graph Academy** where you can find plenty of useful info, link [here](https://thegraph.academy/delegators/).

Regarding your specific question, if you select an indexer with a 10% effective cut, this means the Indexer is taking 10% of whatever the delegated stake generated as rewards (so it is a sort of commission).

Awesome! That’s kinda what I thought, but you know the glass half empty, half full deal! Or 10% empty, 10% full! Thanks!
