What is the annual salary of a Catholic nun?

Answer 1

Nun (sisters), Brothers (male religious), priests in religious orders (monks / friars) take a vow of poverty, and as such receive no "salary". Their community owns everything in common, and they receive a small stipend for personnal needs.

Answer 2

Nuns, who are religious Sisters in solemn vows living in a monastery, make a vow of conversatio morum and obedience, which forbid them making any money, or even possessing any whatsoever. Religious sisters out in the world that teach, nurse, etc. may make a salary in their profession, but it would all go to their Order which would supply their needs. Bottom line? Catholic nuns do not make money, so they would have no annual salary.

Nuns don't receive a salary. Speaking as one who devotes much of his time to the Church, I can confirm that the pay is non-existent, as for the pension scheme - don't even think you can retire, but the death in service benefits are out of this world.
