If there is an initial deposit at a bank of $100 with a bank reserve requirement of 10%, ultimately an additional $900 of money can be created. … The amount of money the banking system generates with each dollar of reserves is called the money multiplier. Per Figure B example, with a 0.10 reserve ratio · the money multiplier is 1/.1 = 10 · $100 of reserves (initial deposit) eventually can create $900 more money created = $1000 total The money multiplier is the reciprocal of the reserve ratio. In the example · reserve requirement is 0.1 so the money multiplier is 1/.1 = 10 · $100/.1 = $100 x 10 = $1000 total money end result, original $100 deposit + $900 created money. … This formula illustrates how the amount of money banks...
