adequate payment
Sufficient monetary exchange
Adequate payment is compensation that sufficiently meets an obligation or expectation—not generous, but enough to satisfy what's owed: The contractor received adequate payment for the work completed.
The phrase often appears in legal and business contexts where the question is whether consideration meets a minimum threshold rather than whether it's fair or optimal.
