commensurate

In proper proportion

Commensurate means corresponding in size, extent, or degree—proportional to something else.

A salary should be commensurate with experience; punishment should be commensurate with the crime.

The reward was commensurate with the risk.

The word implies a fitting match between two things, neither too much nor too little relative to the other.
