Best Answer

A Catholic priest in an order (Franciscans, Carmelites, Cistercians etc) almost all take a vow of poverty, so none.

Depending on the individual diocese: diocesan priests receive a salary of roughly $40,000 annually in the US, of which $20,000 is immediately reserved for the Parish. Other requirements throughout the year very often dip into what is remaining. The average priest lives on fairly little, enough for food, clothes, day to day items and usually car insurance, but not much more.

This also varies country to country and diocese to diocese, America would probably be amongst the highest.

Bishops receive around half of what a priest does, and a Pope receives no salary at all.

How much does the clergy make?

This varies widely and depends both on the denomination, the congregation, and the larger society. Some clergy volunteer their ministry, so have to have a secular career to earn an income. Some clergy get no salary, but have all their needs provided for. Some clergy get some things provided for (housing, transportation, education, food) and a small stipend for spending money or investments. Some clergy get a salary determined by the size of the congregation or the amount of offerings made, and could become millionaires. In some countries, clergy are paid by the state, which collects a religion tax for all approved religious groups and distributes it accordingly. In other countries, churches must handle their own funds and nothing comes from the state. Some places allow tax breaks for clergy housing, some do not.


What is the salary of a deacon?

The Bureau of Labor Statistics lumps all religious leaders into the category of "clergy." The average annual salary for all clergy in the United States, according to the BLS was $46,960 as of May 2009. Because of the nature of deacons' work, a deacon may be able to earn that much money annually, if not more.That depends on the local diocese. Most often, deacons get no pay and serve with no salary at all. However, if assigned full time to a particular ministry, salary is possible and would be consistent with that paid to a lay person in the same position, such as Director of Religious Education or Pastoral Associate. But this is the exception not the rule.
