What does I hope this helps mean?

Writer Matthew Wilson

‘Hope this helps’ is a contraction of: ‘I Hope that this (what I have just done/said) is going to help you’ and is perfectly acceptable. It is an expression I have used over the last 5 years on this site when I have given an answer to a contributor’s question.

How do I write I hope you understand formally?
