How much is developing a plugin cost?

How much is developing a Minecraft plugin cost? I'm interested in getting the price ranges for 3 types of commissions: small plugin, medium plugin, and large plugin.
Prices may vary on my developing experience, so I would just say I've been into coding plugins for about 3 years now.
Also, do people spend thousands on commissions for plugin development? I just think earning about 200$ for like 2 months is a low for a large plugin, do you agree with me (should it be above 1k)?

Charge by the hour. Most developers usually charge $15-20 on MC-Market and Spigot, you can sometimes find some charging $25+ (this includes most people paying developers as well). Pay depends on experience.

If you do the math, a small plugin could be as low as maybe $30 - $40 while a larger plugin would be something like $80 - $140 (not including maintenance and bug fixes). If you are going for something REALLY big like an entire core, then you will be looking at a figure somewhere in the 4 to 5 figure range depending on both the complexity of the plugin and the competency of the developer.
