From what I can find apparently Kindle Unlimited authors make approximately 1/2 a penny (0.005 USD) per page and get paid by the number of pages read per month, so potentially somebody who writes a 200-300 page book makes a buck or two for everybody who finishes it.

Additionally I see that Sarah Hawke makes around $300/mo on her Patreon. E. William Brown (the Fimbulwinter guy) is making just under $2k right now. As a benchmark, N. K. Jemisin is making $5.6k a month, and 2k is around what popular furry artists like Slugbox make.

So let's call it enough to make some decent pocket change but not enough to quit your day job.
