is it the total amount of money you have contributed to the rake, irrespective if you were the one to win the pot or not? so it a portion of the rake paid number actual losses from other players as well if they win the pot and a portion of the money you put into the pot got raked?

This is true, but remember all the other players are contributing about the same amount. So in magical no rake land you should expect to make about that much extra.
