I was wondering how much jobs pay out in your games? What have you earned on the low end? The high end? On average?

If you can list CR examples please. Thanks for any help ahead of time.

Depends on the job. Steal a wallet? That might be a couple hundred credits. Rob a bank? That could be tens of thousands.

But the more important question might be: what do the PCs have to spend money on? They shouldn't be strapped for cash at all times, but giving them upkeep to worry about will keep them motivated; starships aren't cheap to maintain, and motivations might include being in debt.

Also, consider providing rewards that aren't monetary. Maybe a schematic, or weapon, or map that leads to hidden riches might be better than boring old credits.

My personal favorite rewards are ones that require the PCs to make a tough decision, that might come with real consequences. The smuggling job for the Hutt that seems a little too easy? Have them pop a crate open, and let them see a shiny new blaster pistol that will be right up the Smuggler's alley. Now he has to decide, will he consider stealing it, and try to convince the buyer the Hutt is double-crossing him?

What’s in my character’s space wallet? His BOSS starship captain’s license.

Considering how often Star Wars characters get captured, their space wallets might just be prison wallets... (_!_)

Oh man this was great. lol

I should have titled this differently. lol. Ok what I am looking for is the credit totals from some rewards or pay outs your PCs or your character received lately or whenever in EotE games.

I ran the One Shot First adventure and the group got the suggested payout of 500cr each, plus another 2000cr group for achieving the various goals in the initial mission. It was essentially a rescue and retrieval mission, if you aren’t familiar. They also got their beginning ship, a run-down Gozanti. In the second mission of that series, which is a hold-up of a police convoy and bringing someone to justice, they again got 500cr each and another 2000cr for various successfully completed components, and another 10kcr they looted from the convoy, which has to be spent on the aforementioned ship to be spaceworthy.

Perfect thank you @Recon35

Over 3 years/30+ sessions, I've remained consistent with these party-wide payouts:

• <5000c — small potatoes; favors or the cost of doing business
• 7500c-10000c — average job; players find it fair if proportional to risk
• 15000c-20000c — big job; used to get the party's attention, can be split into up-front/completion

Don't overlook the value of barter, access or political capital, either. If the party wants to do business with an exclusive NPC, it'll probably accept gating quests.
