The go-to number for a mid tier composer for games is $1000/min of finished music.
Im sure you've heard that for a...while, As far back as 2016!!
www.gamedeveloper.com/audio/budget...
It's been 10 years, with inflation that number is $1367/min
I repeat: $1367 per minute of finished music.

Did you know that Steam OSTs are considered as DLCs and have their own SKU#. Therefore it's very easy to calculate the revenue
COMPOSERS KEEP YOUR STEAM OST SALES! Negotiate it in the contract otherwise charge more for your music.
