Yes, it's common knowledge on the PS3 side, in the older Dragon's Dogma OPSC topic (not the current Dark Arisen board's group), there is an RC calculator that will tell you how to determine RC earnings, as long as you know the base XP of the monster killed.

RC is 10% of the BASE XP of the monster, plus or minus modifiers for the other three slots in the party. A person up to 25 levels above you penalizes you 1% for each level, to a cap of 25%. A person up to 25 levels below you gives you a 1% bonus for each level, up to a cap of 25%. An empty slot is a 25% bonus.

So if a level 200 Arisen and Pawn hire a level 4 player, that hired pawn gets +25% for the empty slot and -25% and -25% for the two level 200s. RC = (10% x Base monster) x 25% x -25% x -25%. The two level 200s each get the opposite, though XP doesn't mean anything beyond the tally in the lifetime XP figure in Status/History: Base xp of monster x No modifier x 25% x 25%, for the other level 200, the level 4 pawn and the empty slot, respectively.
