Since there is both a range of possible encounter difficulties and a fairly wide range in treasure results themselves, it's likely that you'll end up with a large variance on the final result, but nevertheless you'll have an average to work with.However, that would tell the total earned treasure, not the total owned, to figure out which you might have to deduct the expenses during previous levels, and here things get more murky... how much gp are you going to assume that the characters have spent on healing potions and other consumable items? How about expensive spells components? How about money spent on living (a rule that is not even so commonly applied but rather ignored), or invested in other ways during the adventures (mercenaries, favors, bribes, building, transportation, services, information...)? Everyone can have their own expectations for those, but really they are all pretty much made up numbers, and for some gaming groups they may even be 0.And of course finally what really matters is how the DM is going to allow the PCs to spend the treasure. Thus, I wouldn't really recommend to sweat much over these calculations/estimations. Even just granting as many GP as XP yields usable values!</blockquote>
