If you would calculate an hourly wage for your work in plug-ins, then how much is it?
I believe the replies above are addressing a going rate for someone working for hire. I think what you may be asking, instead, is what does the pay actually amount to given all the extra time you put in - as an independent developer - addressing customer issues, fixing bugs, testing, issuing updates, bookkeeping, etc., etc. In other words, how much would you make in terms of dollars per hour as your own boss/company?

If that's what you're asking, the answer depends on how good your ideas are; how capable you are and how good you are at business. Some people write plugins as a hobby for no money. Others make a living at it. In my case it's a part time job/supplemental income.

So if you're trying to decide if developing plugins is a worthwhile financial endeavor the only way to know for sure is to give it a try. But beware, as another thread here discusses, the plugin market is very saturated and unless you have some great new idea you may want to stay where you are!
