Money, quota, and selling loot
Crime Net Gazette alone describes payout as submitted loot value times a difficulty-dependent base cut. The worked examples below illustrate that formula; they are not measured rates or a difficulty chart.


The formula people are repeating
Crime Net Gazette describes the payout as submitted loot value times a base cut set by difficulty. Difficulty locks for that quota. Early finish is said to pay a bonus whose formula is not confirmed. Their sample row is $5,000 at 25%, $10,000 at 35%, $15,000 at 40%, $20,000 at 50%, and they label it as math, not a playtest.
Arithmetic only: Gazette's illustrative inputs, not measured in-game rates. Source check: 30 Oct 2026.

Quota dollars from a second site
Yoshitomi's ladder still stands alone: 1000 through 11500 across eight quotas, summing to 50000. Use it as that guide's historical claim, not a schedule for every mode. The official 1.2 notes raise Hardcore debt from 50,000 to 100,000. Do not add the Gazette percentages on top and call the product an official earnings chart.
Cards and furniture that move the number
The Gazette, citing a community card list around version 1.57, says a Dollar card adds five percentage points to the cut, Credits adds 20 percent, Diamond cuts shop prices by 25 percent, and a card it calls Swift adds 50 percent to the early bonus. A separate v1.57 community guide lists Swift and Fast Delivery as distinct cards: Swift improves the early bonus, while Fast Delivery makes fast delivery free and faster. Do not treat them as alternate names. Gazette links that same guide, so these card numbers remain one source chain. Naguide alone gives an undamaged golden card a $500 base sale price.
Safehouse prices in the furniture article: a repair bench at 5000 after you earn 5000 in a run, and Hackerman's table at 2000 after three item requests, and it wants Electronics 1. Those are anchors for spending, not a full shop.
Questions
Does extra loot count?
The Gazette guide says value above the quota is still multiplied by the same cut. I have not seen an official formula that confirms the rate.
What does a money printer do?
The Gazette says the printer was fixed more than once in August 2026. Official Steam posts place printer fixes in 1.56c on 25 August and 1.57 on 28 August 2026. Version 1.57a on 1 September addressed a black screen instead. I am not listing a print rate.
