I just started using MultiPoolMiner V2.5.2 and "I think" I'm enjoying it's higher profits more than what I got with NiceHash, if only I could make sense of the reported estimated profits:
Miner BTC USD
----- --- ---
MultiPoolMiner 0.00265 7.02710
{CcminerSp-Skein, CpuminerJayddeeAesavx-Lyra2z} 0.00343 9.07601
Miner BTC USD
----- --- ---
MultiPoolMiner 0.00265 7.00380
{CcminerKlaust-NeoScrypt, CpuminerJayddeeAesavx-Lyra2z} 0.00326 8.59861
These are two typical results I get when running on my GTX 1070, with the copy of MPM that I installed when I had my 1070 plugged into the motherboard. The day before this I already had a separate installation of MPM that I installed with a GTX 970 plugged in and got this result:
MultiPoolMiner is 56% more profitable:
Miner BTC USD
----- --- ---
MultiPoolMiner 0.00301 7.60736
{CcminerKlaust-NeoScrypt, CpuminerJayddeeAesavx-Lyra2z} 0.00193 4.87610
I find that in this copy of MPM the top BTC value is always at or around 0.00301, and for the 1070 value it's 0.00265. To make things even weirder, if I run the 970-installed-MPM copy with my 1070 gpu and vice versa, these reported values don't actually change to reflect the power of the cards even when the ccminer.exe window does. The 1070 should be around 20-50% faster than the 970.
I found that manually adjusting the values of the files in the Stats folder will only affect the bottom line, so clearly that value is estimated by the initial benchmarks.
My questions:
Where does the MultiPoolMiner value come from?
Why is it lower than the {CcminerKlaust-NeoScrypt...} estimate?
How do I get an accurate estimate of my actual BTC/USD-equivalent income?
Also if I'm making as much money as I hope I am, great work!

56% more profitable seems very large; it's most likely a problem with the initial reading. Either the benchmark was wrong or it's because MiningPoolHub doesn't provide 24 stats on the API yet for setting the initial base value. The readings are more accurate as time passes.
I may add the measured variance (+/- percent) to give an indication of the accuracy. Once 24 hour stats are added to the MiningPoolHub API then that should help greatly.
