It was my understanding that the rake paid in the general tab was not contributed. That is to say, if 3 people put money in the pot and the rake was $3, if you won the pot the rake reflected would be $3; if you lost, it would be $0.

Unless I'm misunderstanding what contributed rake is, PT doesn't split the rake among players that put money in the pot.

Right. However we don't know how WPEX will calculate their contributed rake. It could be an equal share to anyone who contributed to the pot, a weighted share by contribution to the pot, or by the winner getting full share.
In my last post to my
Effect of Rake / Rakeback thread I compared 'rakefree' (i.e. winner gets all the rakeback) to a contributed scheme where if you see the flop you get an equal share of rakeback. I concluded they had basically the same effect.
So, I think the Total Rake from PT is a 'good enough' representation of 100% contributed rakeback.
