Target XP Reward
To find your total XP budget, multiply the number of characters in the party by one quarter of the XP value of a monster whose CR is equal to the party's average level.
Target XP = (XP value for a monster of the party's average level)/4 x (number of characters in the party)

That doesn't really work though since CR does not scale linearly. You can't just fill up, say, 3000 xp worth of monsters in an encounter and expect it to work since the numbers for monsters increase so sharply. Four CR 4 creatures is not the same as a single CR 8 monster, despite being worth the same xp.
