I need the help of you math wizards out there.
I now have a Jobs Payout bonus of 108%.
If an advertised job on Crime City pays between $10,000 to $15,000, what is my lowest expected payout?

10,000 x 1.08= 10,800.

10,800 + 10,000 = 20,800.

20,800 is your lowest expected payout for a $10-15k job.

Depends on a couple things.

If the numbers you listed are what is shown in your game when you select a job, the lowest payout is $10,000. Job payout bonus changes the displayed numbers of the payout range the same as a building output bonus changes the numbers displayed on the information screen when you select one of your buildings.

If the bonus is actually working, it also changes the actual job payout and not just the displayed numbers on the job info banner. This issue has happened before, where a job payout bonus was not working properly and changed the advertised payout range but not the actual job payout.

If the numbers you listed are from someone else's, unmodded game, you would have to calculate each of your job payout bonuses separately using the range posted as your base.

For example, starting from base $10k-$15k, if you have +50% job payout syndicate bonus, the payout range becomes $15k-$22.5k. Total additional payout from the bonus is $5k-$7.5k.

If you also have, let's say a +5% job payout, you also calculate this from the base payout and your additional payout would be a possible range of +$500 to +$750.

You can then add these two bonuses together, to give you an additional payout range of $5500-$8250. So your job payout with a +50% and a +5% mod would end up looking like $15,500-$23,250.

Even the highest payout jobs are negligible. Why does it matter?

OP probably wants to know if his mods are working.

That is the truth, and the main reason why I have a "don't look, don't care" attitude about rewards.

Now, if I spent real money....
