How much do you get paid per gig?

This year in my band I have made between $150.00 and $675.00 a night. Most of the gigs have paid between $300-400.00 range.I did play a sub gig for $100.00 last week.
Thank you for your response.. I know this can be a touchy subject for some, but I really appreciate your input!
Our gigs vary from $250.00 to $3000.00. Unless we decide on a set amount for each member before hand, and put the rest in the band account, we split the pay evenly among 6 members.
I work in a GB band doing weddings, casinos, and corporate events. It's less for the casinos, but I usually get somewhere between $350 and $500 per gig, plus whatever the guests are eating and drinking.
My band is a cover band playing country/classic rock. The low paying gigs are in bars. The higher paying ones are weddings/street dances/ fairs/etc.
sometimes (rarely) coupla hundred bux.
sometimes a nothing at all except a free beer coupon (sux I dont drink lols).
Hit and miss.

For regular gigs, each member gets $ 75.00 for 3 hours. Usually get $5- $20 in tips each. Private parties and wineries and such are more....I will play a 4 hour gig for $85.00. I wish it were more...but that's about it.
