Economics
This section is dedicated to determining income, typically through the use of a skill, like profession, perform or alchemy.
All income is based around a formula which calculates a yearly salary (y) based on your skill bonus (x).
y=5000+500(10+x^2)
Salary assumes you you work for 5 days a week, for 50 weeks a year. Divide this value by 250 to figure our your daily income. Most jobs tend to have weekly payouts. The chart below does this formula for you for most expected values. Anything lower than a +0 bonus to the task at hand makes a 5k salary, 20g daily and 100g a week.
This formula assumes a prosperous nation with a lot of economic opportunity and a population with thousands of people per city. In poorer and less populous regions, consider using the following multiplier for all goods and services (if you don't mind sacrificing convenience for realism, since multiplying the value every time you buy/sell can get tedious).
Developing - Multiply all values by .75 Poor - Multiply all values by .5
It also assumes the work provides value. If you are a butcher in a society of vegans, you will struggle to find work. Apply a multiplier in such circumstances.
Service/Goods is Almost Useless - Multiply all values by .1 High Supply/Low Demand- Multiply all values by .5 Low Supply/High Demand, Novel Service- Multiply all values by 1.2
