In the 25th century, when megacorporations dominate the Orion Spur, living is not something one can do for free. While some can eke out a meager existence on frontier worlds where money is not needed to provide for oneself, in civilized space megacorporations squeeze everything they can out of the people, charging for as much as they can. This includes their own employees, and even on top-of-the-line ships, like the SCCV Horizon, very few things come for free to the people who work aboard. This page is designed to show how much the employees aboard the Horizon are paid, and how much they need to spend to do things as a percentage of their income, instead of how much actual credits they get paid, though it is still possible to calculate that.

== Salaries and Wages ==
== Salaries and Wages ==
Salaries and wages are determined by the position an employee fulfils aboard the NSS Aurora. This ranges between one and twenty, with the latter being the highest-paid positions. This number is a significant factor in randomising the bank account of a character aboard the SCCV Horizon. The numbers below are on a monthly basis, for ease of calculations. These numbers are gotten by taking the economic modifier of each job, or how much they get paid weekly, and multiplying it by 4. Each modifier point represents 450 standard Biesel credits.

=== Income Tax Brackets ===
The corporations have persuaded the Republic of Biesel to have a fairly low tax rate, especially on themselves, and the work-visa policies of the Republic ensure foreign workers do not pay Republic Income tax for the first 5 years they work within the Republic. Those with republican citizenship pay these taxes, and around the spur, most nations tax their citizens a similar amount.

Something only Positronic crew have to deal with is charging. Most corporations will provide charging for free to owned IPCs, adding it to the total they need to work off before freedom. Un-owned IPCs have to pay for their own charging on a monthly basis, the amount they require varies on the IPCs level of activity, such as running. Un-owned IPCs in command do not get a discount.

Oleg's income for the month is '''twenty''' points. He is underpaid, offered a low contract by Orion, and therefore he has been deducted '''three''' points (20 x 0.85 = 17) from his gross personal income.

He rents a low-end apartment where his wife and son live in Little Adhomai (District 6), and as the district is a horrible ghetto, rent is incredibly cheap, deducting '''one''' point.

The Cost of Living

Contents

In the 25th century, when megacorporations dominate the Orion Spur, living is not something one can do for free. While some can eke out a meager existence on frontier worlds where money is not needed to provide for oneself, in civilized space megacorporations squeeze everything they can out of the people, charging for as much as they can. This includes their own employees, and even on top-of-the-line ships, like the SCCV Horizon, very few things come for free to the people who work aboard.

Salaries and Wages

Salaries and wages are determined by the position an employee fulfils aboard the NSS Aurora. After Taxes

Wants and Needs

A character's salaries and wages are used to fulfil their wants and needs. This can range from spending a significant amount of their income on housing, entertainment, and even buying tickets to travel the Orion Spur through ferries and whatnot. This is on a monthly basis and does not need additional calculations. Obviously this is not an exhaustive list of all the things your character may wish to purchase, so if an item you think your character would have is not on this list, either find the nearest comparable item and make up a believable number.

Middling Diet: 320 cr a month

Alright Diet: 960 cr a month

Well-Off Diet: 1440 cr a month
