Welcome to TWC aektzis

As I remember it, the amount of gold gained is tied to the amount of inhabitants of the settlement, not simply [or just] the size of the settlement. The settlements in the Eriador region are, in accordance to the lore, quite depopulated meaning the gain from sacking them is limited. As populations increase, or if you expand further towards already more populated areas, the gain from sacking will increase.

What Ngugi said.
Also, I would really advice against sacking or exterminating settlements that are nog Large/Huge cities or fortresses/Citadels. The reason being that population and population growth in TATW is really, really low. If you take Minas Tirith/Barad Dûr, you can sack it all you like, but if you take a little village and you sack it, it will take quite a lot of extra turns to upgrade into it a (large) town. It's simply not worth the little bit of money you get from it.
