Caveats
- Contract work is entirely active: nothing accrues while the player is away, so the passive and active hourly rates are identical here. That is the honest answer, not a bug.
- Contract payouts vary by contract and by how cleanly it is completed. The local and far figures stand for a mid-range and a top-range contract. Override them with your own.
- The $250 daily fee is the only wiki-stated figure in this record.
- Customer vehicle repairs and Exotic Exports are excluded: both are small and both are capped per in-game day.
