The reward comes from His bounty, not our math.

Ibn Kathir explains: He rewards believers from His bounty, ten times for one good deed, up to seven hundred, as much as He wills. He does not love the disbelievers, yet He is still just with them and does not wrong them.

You gave five dollars at the mosque and felt it was nothing. You helped an elderly man with his bags and forgot it by lunch. Allah has not forgotten. His reward is not a receipt. It is bounty.

My good deeds are too small to matter.

Allah multiplies from His bounty. No sincere deed is too small.

Do one tiny good deed today, a smile, a text of thanks, and trust Allah to grow it.

Tafsir Ibn Kathir (shared passage from 30:43)

So, set you your face to the straight and right religion, before there comes from Allah a Day which none can avert. On that Day men shall be divided (43)Whosoever disbelieves will suffer from his disbelief, and whosoever does righteous good deeds, then such will prepare a good place for themselves (44)That He may reward those who believe and do righteous good deeds, out of His bounty. Verily, He likes not the disbelievers (45)

The Command to follow the Straight Path before the Day of Resurrection

Here Allah commands His servants to hasten to obedience to Him and to hasten to do good deeds.

فَأَقِمْ وَجْهَكَ لِلدِّينِ الْقَيِّمِ مِنْ قَبْلِ أَنْ يَأْتِيَ يَوْمٌ لَا مَرَدَّ لَهُ مِنَ اللَّهِ ۖ 

(So, set you your face to the straight and right religion, before there comes from Allah a Day which none can avert.) The Day of Resurrection, for when Allah wants it to happen, no one will be able to avert it.

يَوْمَئِذٍ يَصَّدَّعُونَ

(On that Day men shall be divided.) means, they will be separated, with one group in Paradise and another in Hell. Allah says:

مَنْ كَفَرَ فَعَلَيْهِ كُفْرُهُ ۖ وَمَنْ عَمِلَ صَالِحًا فَلِأَنْفُسِهِمْ يَمْهَدُونَ - لِيَجْزِيَ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ مِنْ فَضْلِهِ ۚ

(Whosoever disbelieves will suffer from his disbelief, and whosoever does righteous good deeds, then such will prepare a good place for themselves. That He may reward those who believe. and do righteous good deeds, out of His bounty.) meaning that He may reward them from His bounty, in return for one good deed, he will get the reward for ten, up to seven hundred like it, as much as Allah wills.

إِنَّهُ لَا يُحِبُّ الْكَافِرِينَ

(Verily, He likes not the disbelievers.) yet He is still just with them and does not oppress them.
