Depends on how much work you want to do. I usually average 100-110 trips for pay per month. Thats about 85-95 hours. One month I decided to do some redecorating, or should I say my wife, and I flew 168 trips for pay. I flew everything I could for time and a half. We have some pilots that are making over 300k. They have no life! An average line has 16-18 days off a month and pays around 97-103 trips for pay for about 85 hours of flying.
