Economy Calculator (static summary)

Note: The interactive calculator previously embedded on this page is temporarily disabled for compatibility with the current static build. Use the checklist below to keep your economy balanced while the live tool is migrated to a dedicated client component.

What the calculator covers

Job wage balancing (civilian vs emergency services)
Consumable, vehicle, and housing markup guidance
Inflation and wealth distribution checkpoints
Demand and stock tracking for high-traffic vendors
Revenue/expense forecasting for weekly resets

Quick setup checklist

Set baseline wages for civilian jobs (taxi/garbage/mining) and keep emergency roles within 10–20% of that baseline.
Apply item markups: consumables 25–35%, repair kits 20–25%, weapons 35–45%, housing 15–25%.
Clamp inflation by adding periodic fees (vehicle maintenance, property tax) and avoiding runaway giveaways.
Track player wealth: top 5% earners, median cash/bank, and daily transaction volume. Adjust payouts if median rises too fast.
Rebalance weekly: review job uptake, vendor stock-outs, and resmon impact when new content lands.

Temporary workflow (manual)

Export your current economy data to CSV/JSON.
Run a quick pivot: average wage, max wage, markup per category, and weekly revenue/expense deltas.
Apply the checklist above, then re-run the pivot after one restart to validate stability.

Next steps

The full interactive calculator will return as a client component. Until then, keep notes of your markup changes so they can be imported when the new tool ships.
