How much do you get paid to DJ?

Hey guys, i have been djing in bars for about 6 months... i have 3 gigs a week that each pay 100 a night (wed, fri, and sat). i mean that comes out to be more than 15,000 a year (not bad for a side job/hobby). one club occasionaly has me in and they pay 400 a night. I would make a little more on wednesdays if i had my own speakers/amps, but i use another dj's (the big dog in town). he makes 250 a night during week days and 800 a night on weekends. i work for a cheep ass on fridays and saturdays and he has a sound system in his bar that i just plug my tt's into. anyway, i was planning on getting my own speakers/amps eventually and going around to the bars to see if i could get two more nights a week so i'll have 5 nights every week. i was wondering how much to ask for (flat fee, % of the door, etc..).

how much do you guys make when you dj (4 hour set)and please let me know the city you're from (the cost of living here is very low so im sure id make more in a big city). i'm from altoona, pa

thanks
bisco
