There isn't really a set amount for this. You could end up in the six figures if your game becomes big like Halo or you could make nothing if your game bombs. You could go indie and do all the work yourself, thus taking in any profit. Or be on a label where you would be on a team and you might end up getting a salary or a percentage.

Research has shown that video game designers can make very good money. There is such a large market for video games and these designers can make on average about $52,000 per year with many making even more.
It depends on how popular their game is. A person designing popular games will make more money than ones working on less popular games.
The aim of game designers can vary with each company or designer. They could be out to make the most realistic, scary, funny, or adventurous game of the season.
The annual salary for game designers varies widely. For instance, a famous designer on a huge game project might make over $100,000 easily. Smaller designers on less popular projects might only take home $30,000 per year, though.
Some make 20.00 dollars an hour but most make about 15.00 dollars
