I am running a group of people through Kingmaker and they will be starting their kingdom soon. Looking through the kingdom rules, there doesn't seem to be any provision for paying salaries to the people in leadership positions except for the general money withdrawal mechanism which comes with an unrest impact. I am thinking of adding something but not sure what a good amount would be for various kingdom sizes would be. Any suggestions?
Since there is a mechanism for tracking population, perhaps 1 sp per adult per annum, multiplied by the tax levy (or what ever it is called).

What I did was have them make a "promotionary edict"
The BP cost for the edict was essentially covering the "salary"
It also provided a bonus as all edicts do for that turn as well.

My players brought this up, so this is what I implemented:
[Apply 1/month directly after Phase 1 Step 1: Determine Kingdom Stability]
If <5 Unrest and check does not fail by 5+, the rulers receive a stipend based on kingdom size:
1-20[Barony]: 25 gp/month [Average Cost of Living+ 15 net gp]
21-80[Duchy]: 150 gp/month [Wealthy CoL+50 net OR Average CoL+140 net]
80+[Kingdom]: 500 gp/month [Wealthy CoL+400 net]
The idea being that it can support the cost of maintaining living quarters and buying food and drink, but that the party/leadership isn't going to be independently weathly.
Feel free to borrow and adapt it to your game's needs. :3
