What Pin Money You Will Have

We've had a lot to say about incomes, but not much about this. What could a woman in Mrs. Darcy's position, or Mrs. Bingley's, or Mrs. Bennet's, or Mrs. Knightley's, typically expect from her husband by way of pin money? Was there any relation to the income from whatever property she brought into the marriage settlement?
