The problem I have with that is - where is the team? It probably not a single person writing that app. It's likely a whole team of people.

In non-tech companies, IT is seen as a cost. Half the time your contribution is just saving the company from hiring x number of people to do the work manually.

You can start by taking value provided and dividing by number of people involved. I can almost promise the number you get is higher than people’s existing salary. Even after accounting for overhead.

That's logical for any profitable company. The question is whether or not the amount is reasonable.
