What would be the formula for Wealth Duplex with additional loot bonuses?

  • Loot prey
  • Double loot event
  • Gut Charm
  • Daily boosted creature

Also what happens if you have them all active at the same time?

Each loot bonus, except by the Gut charm, makes an extra loot set to be generated for you (out of the loot pool and based on the drop rates). The same applies to the Wealth Duplex bonus.

You can easily test it with creatures that have loot with 100% drop rate. When killing such creatures, the amount of extra items that are always dropped will be 1 for each active bonus. However, this will not always be the case for drop rate values different from 100%.

As far as I know, Gut charm adds a 20%-chance of an extra loot set to be generated for creature products, which means for every 5 creatures that you kill, you loot the amount of creature products you would get in 6 creatures (20% bonus), in average.

Slight advice in here as it leaves room for misinterpretation- just add it does makes an extra loot set which is not necessarily same as the original. I know what you mean and Xarkost also knows but- there will be people who will think that if they will loot some rare, it will be definitely doubled. It is common misconception. This is why I like Skerio's explanation.

BTW.  Idontknow knows nothing and even less;-).

I just added the link as it is nice to have an official source from CIP.

Thanks for the hint, Idontknow. I just edited the answer trying to approach what you suggested. Does it look clear now?
