# Calculating my Boost

To calculate a users boost the process from the [Maximum Boost](/learn-about-balancer/fundamentals/vebal-tokenomics/financial-implications/boosting-bal-incentives/maximum-boost.md) section will be used considering the veBAL holdings user has.

First we must calculate the user's working supply:

![The minimum of the working supply limit and liquidity provided & staked equation defines a user's working supply](/files/rpgDDO4ggUlWSF5vOLVr)

This would mean the minimum or “non-boosted” supply a user could have is the following, assume no veBAL is owned.

The boost a user receives is the the ratio of their working supply over the new total working supply, divided by the minimum case of their working supply entering a pool.

![The total working supply will need to be pulled from the gauge contracts for these calculations](/files/zNedoXJEJYPh9QVNOllw)

In the case of already being in the pool and depositing further liquidity, the following adjustment must to be made to consider the working supply a user already holds a given pool.
