(HELP) Questions Regarding Pay

EliteTJB

Hello, I'm new to this Forum, so I don't know if this is the right place for this Thread, but I've got a question Regarding How much to Pay People.

I Am currently Working on an Indie Game, and I Am Setting up a Patreon Page to support it's development, and I Need to know what people think a "Fair" Monthly Salary would be for the following Jobs:

- Character Artist
- Environment Artist
- Riggers and Animators
- Texture Artists
- Concept Artists
- Game Engine Specialist (Unreal 4, in case it makes a difference)

Bear in Mind, I Don't belong to a Named Studio, Don't work in an Office/Etc, I Am literally sat in my Bedroom trying my best to organize something.

Just to reiterate, I Need to know the Monthly cost of Hiring one of each of the Above in US Dollars so I Can set up Patreon Goals, etc.

Thanks in Advance

If you search for each position in http://www.glassdoor.ca/index.htm, you'll get ballpark figures.
Note that most, if not all of these, will be for actual studios, rather then smaller indy groups.
