Does anyone know the equation for receiving money by level? If not the equation, could you tell me the level equivalent gold for a level 21?

Honestly I would rather have the equation set to memory for further use. I've been trying to figure it out in the DMG but the numbers seem so eratic I can't seem to quite find an order in it.

There's an old thread that attempted to find the formulas for all sorts of things in 3.5. In that thread (which is now in the archives), a user named Bob Loblaw posted the following comment:

Treasure and Character Wealth

Neither the treasure tables, nor NPC or PC wealth
tables, appear to follow a regular formula.

The post in which he says that isn't too far down from the start of the thread, if you'd like to locate the source.

There might be a formula out there, despite what Bob says (though he's a pretty sharp guy). For example, I vaguely recall figuring out a formula for NPC wealth, though to get it to work you had to ignore the first couple of levels. Let me see if I have that somewhere in my files.

Wondering why you can't just refer to the table?

The table stops at level 20. Unless the ELH has a continuation of the table, that is...

I think it did, but I rarely looked at my copy and sold it when I upgraded to 4th.
