It would be a good idea for all voters to specify which platform brings them money, and if the money comes from ads or from selling apps. For me, it's Android, ad-based applications.
iOS, actual app sales
iOS, actual app sales.

My ad-supported app has been going through review for two months! Ouch.

iOS, actual app sales, only in the Dutch market.
Android, actual app sales
Android, two ad-based apps.
~$15 / month total from three apps in the app store. Two paid, one ad-based. Half comes from ads.
I admit I grow tired of that kind of posts. Doesn't it depend on the app and how well you market it? It is already well known that you can earn a lot of money, but also not so much money, depending on your luck, effort and dedication.

I've had my one game app in the Android Market free and full for about 9 months now. Its making $400 a month now. $150 from actual sales $250 from ads. Only recently ad revenue makes more than sales and increasing. At the point when 50,000 users keep it on their devices is when ad revenue started making real money at around 20,000 impressions a day.
Wouldn't the median be a bit more useful? The highest selling apps will tend to skew the average upwards. The median would be more useful to determine what the average app creator might make.
The $83,332-83,333 seems like an odd boundary. Can anyone explain why this particular boundary is important?
You might get some idea if you convert it to annually.
Indeed. Thanks. The .333(repeating) should've given it away.
