For example:

This will give you a detailed audit / report of your reputation over time, reflecting the current voting values. It will look something like this:

 2     29812 (2)
-- 2009-11-15 rep +245  = 28647     
 2     29877 (10)
 3     29886 (-2)
 1     29877 (15)
 2     29886 (10)
 2     27958 (7)
 2     29905 [0]
 1     29905 (15)
 3     29884 (-2)
 2     29521 (2)
 2     31021 (5)
 2     29878 [0]
 9     28065 (550)
-- 2009-11-16 rep +275  = 28922     
 1     29915 (15)
 3     29882 (-2)

note that this is not an actual, valid report, just an example that I kind of cut and pasted into

The first number is the vote type, where common vote types are:

  • 1 = accepted answer (to or from you)
  • 2 = upvote (to you)
  • 3 = downvote (to or from you)
  • 4 = penalty for post flagged as offensive
  • 8 = bounty grant (from you)
  • 9 = bounty award (to you)
  • 12 = penalty for post flagged as spam
  • 16 = edit suggestion approved

The second number is the post ID that the vote was on. Remember that votes on community wiki posts do not generate rep, so those votes will not appear here. (Note that some vote types like offensive, spam, and bounties apply to any post regardless of its community wiki status)

The third number is the value of the vote. Note that the value may be capped if you reach the daily upvote reputation limit. If the value is capped, it will appear in brackets like [3] so.

The date boundaries are printed whenever your reputation changed in a given day(s). It contains the current date, the amount your rep changed (up or down) since the last time, and the total amount of rep you have earned to date.

At the bottom of the page, there is a button that says Trigger Reputation Recalc. This will force the reputation value stored in the system to be recalculated based on the audit, correcting any errors. Your reputation may change significantly if you have many posts that have been deleted or if many upvotes have been reverted after reaching the +200 cap. Since this can be demanding on the servers, and recalcs are normally reserved for gross errors or reputation scoring changes, a recalc can only be performed once every 24 hours; for more information, see Self-instigated rep recalc. Note that this is no longer required as the system now accurately keeps track of reputation changes caused by events such as deletion of posts or users.

As of December 2013, there is no "Trigger Reputation Recalc" button anymore. Recalc is performed automatically only, in case of reputation inconsistency that does not resolve itself please file a new bug report.
