D&D 5E 10% of Phandelver mining wealth amounts to ...?

[Agglomérante]

A reward suggested in Lost Mine of Phandelver is 10% of the mine's wealth, once it's up and running.

Who's pegged a number? What did you arrive at?

Good question, I was wondering about that myself too.

A guy over at the WotC forum calculated it to 3000 gp per month, from numbers he basically pulled out of the air, but which sounded impressive

Personally I will give the party 1,000 gp per month after a year (the first year all profits will go to getting the mine up and running). I think that is a reasonable amount and the party already have big plans for setting up shop in Phandalin, so I will have plenty of opportunities to take most of it back.

Basically give them what you think is reasonable and would fit with your vision of campaign wealth.

Enough for a comfortable lifestyle for as long as the mine operates? If they haggle for a 30% reward, I'd bump that up to a wealthy lifestyle.

Roll a D20 and multiply by 100? Production could vary from month to month.

Mearls actually answered that in a faq, posted here on enworld, I think. I'll see if I can dig it up.

500 gp, Mearls says.

LOL, it is impressive! I like how it dovetails with a moderate 2gp/day living expense, as pointed out later in the thread.

Of course this assumes a modern economy and not one which is more fitting with for the setting (or the era the setting is based off).

Depending on what kind of contract you wrote, the dwarves might do some creative accounting and you'll get nothing. Mine consulting fees are getting out of hand.
