Best Answer

According to the National Federation of Priests' Council (NFPC), in 2002 diocesan priests made between $15,291 and $18,478 per year. In addition to their salary, diocesan priests receive benefits that may include a car allowance, room and board in a parish rectory, health insurance, and a retirement plan. Diocesan priests who teach typically make an income from teaching that is less than what a lay person would earn in the same position.

See the link : "Priest" for more information.

I want to add that a typical contract security guard making $12.00 an hour working 40 hours a week getting paid to do his homework assignments on company time at a quiet jobsite as a seminary student, can make just as much while being a student before he is ordained than he will after he is ordained as a priest.

Catholic priests in the U.S. are paid an average yearly salary of $40,000 according to stats of Nov. 2010. In addition, a priest will receive rectory housing, healthcare, and a vehicle stipend.
