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.

Net Income

The following is the amount characters generally take home, given their species, occupation, and corporation. ALL ESSENTIAL EXPENSES, INCLUDING FOOD, INSURANCE, CLOTHING, UTILITIES, MEDICAL EXPENSES, TAXES AND RENT, ARE FACTORED INTO THIS. THIS IS BASICALLY THE ONLY SECTION THAT IS IMPORTANT TO PLAYERS It is important to remember that while this is a general value, it is still canon, and characters should not be significantly deviating from this outside of exceptional circumstances, such as being in heavy debt. There is an exception with positronics, all the values calculated are for self-owned/free positronics only. Nothing here applies to corporate owned or privately owned positronics.

Insurance

While also brought up in wants and needs, Insurance varies by plan and needs further explanation. Not everyone gets free insurance from work. Injuries are only covered through insurance or if they happen in the workplace, and can be proven NOT to have been caused by the negligence of the injuried employee. The only exception to this is the captain, who has the Idris Premium Package for free on account of their station; they are also one of the only two occupations aboard the Horizon who get insurance for free, the other being Consular Officers. However the cost of this is already factored into the Net-Income for each job shown above.

No Insurance

A costs-saver, especially for those indebted. Everything is out of pocket besides workplace accidents.

Price; Free.

Basic Insurance Package

Covers only essential appointments and treatments or appointments and treatments for chronic conditions. It is the standard package for Operations, Service, Command Support, and all Interns.

Price; 585cr a month

SCC Contractor Insurance Package

Only available to employees actively working aboard the Horizon, covers most appointments and treatments, fairly generous. It is the standard package for all non-intern occupations in Engineering, Security, Medical, and Research.

Price; 2025cr a month

Idris Premium Insurance Package

Where you're set insurance-wise, for all intents and purposes covers everything. It is the standard package used for calculations with Command, excepting the Captain who gets it for free.

Price; 5985cr a month

Housing Aboard the Horizon

The Horizon offers a wide array of housing options for the crew, and the SCC assigns members of the Horizon's Crew a room aboard, something that cannot be turned down; however one can request a room change, up or down, though changing up is significantly easier. The SCC further collects rent from the Horizon's Crew in order to pay for the continual maintenance of the Horizon's Residential Deck, this rent tends to automatically be taken out of an employees paycheck. This means every character has a room on the horizon and will pay rent. It's already factored in to Net Income. More about the specifics of the Horizon's Housing can be read about here.

Dormitories are the second most common type of room, used by the lower rungs of the crew, and are incredibly cheap. Characters working in occupations that are above described as Middling, or Struggling likely have a Dormitory.

Cubicles are the most common type of room aboard, resembling a studio apartment. Characters working in occupations that are above described as Alright likely have a Cubicle, though they are still affordable at a stretch to characters working in Middling Occupations.

Condominiums are two room apartments aboard the Horizon, and significantly more expensive than either Cubicles or Dormitories. Characters working in occupations that are above described as Well Off or above tend to have Condominiums, though couples and wealthy crew who aren't a part of the Horizon Command Team, such as Corporate Representatives, also often rent them.

Corapt and Family Corpats are the biggest rooms the Horizon has on offer, and are insanely expensive to rent on a monthly basis. However even without the price tag, due to their size and limited number only members of the Horizon Command Team, or Consular Officers are allowed to rent Corpats and Family Corpats. Members of the Horizon Command team also receive some discounts on Family Corpats provided they have a family member aboard who is also employed on the Horizon.

END OF IMPORTANT STUFF, THE REST IS DOCUMENTATION OR RAW VALUES FOR THOSE WHO WANT THEM.

Raw 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.

Back-end Documentation

THIS IS NOT IMPORTANT TO PLAYERS.

DO NOT TOUCH ANY VALUES WITHOUT THE PERMISSION OF THE CURRENT LORE TEAM ADMINISTRATION.

This page fundamentally works off the {{#expr: }} function of mediawiki, alongside magic words(assigned variables) and parsing functions(mediawiki pulling an expression from a different page then parsing it to use in math on this page). This is an issue with the wiki itself - parsing functions are incredibly irritating to work with and around, and it's not possible to define them(or any value) with magic words in mediawiki without creating a whole separate page for just that parsing function. Anything in brackets besides the expression itself is is a value the wiki is pulling from a completely separate page, so {{Tax}} means the wiki pulls the value on the Template:Tax page, or 0.15 to then use in the math; these pages can contain only raw numerical values or expressions that output only raw numerical values or it'll error.

Here is an example to help describe things;

'''Human Captain:''' Lavish, {{#expr: ({{LavishSalary}} * {{SCCMod}} - ({{LavishSalary}} * {{SCCMod}} * {{Tax}})) * ({{TotalExpenses}} + ({{InsuranceCost}} / {{AverageSalary}})) round 0}}cr a month

Anything in brackets after the #expr:(which is us telling the wiki to express the following equation) is just a shorthanded way of telling the wiki to pull the value on the corresponding template page, so {{LavishSalary}} means to pull the value from Template:LavishSalary, or61650. As for the expression itself, we want it to look like this;

'''[Species Name] [Name of the Occupation]:''' [General Pay Class], {{#expr: ([General Pay Class] * [Corporate Modifier] * [Species Modifier(Unless Human or Skrell)] - ([General Pay Class] * [Corporate Modifier] * [Species Modifier(Unless Human or Skrell)] * {{Tax}})) * {{TotalExpenses}}[Incorrectly named, is actually NetIncome, but {{TotalExpenses}} redirects to {{NetIncome}}] round 0[this is us telling the wiki to round the value to the closest integer]}}cr a month

Hope that explains everything! If more info is needed, here's all the documentation in the lore staff archive. [1]
