Between 5 and 40 centipawns. It depends also on what you want to emphasise to what extent. Don't attribute too much or the engine will start to sacrifice material. You also need some equilibrium between these factors.
But all of that depends also on what other factors you value (space, mobility, king threats), and what style the engine prefers.

My engine just use pst for eval, it's super basic, I'm trying to add one feature at time, I marked what I have doubts, is not the same: mobility and space?
Grabbing space is about pushing pawns (with mobility as side-effect) while mobility is about piece play (with occasional pawn pushes as side-effect).
A typical mobility-centred approach lets the opponent push the pawns, then undermines the centre and destroys it. Suddenly, the advanced pawns become a liability. That's the idea behind openings like Alekhine's Defence. Of course, that can also blow back and you'll be overrun.
