How much does a nun get paid?

Answer 1

This will depend on the nun -

In our diocese, most of the nuns are members of 6 or 7 religious orders, all of which live communally, so the individual sisters get paid only a small amount for the work they do (usually something like teaching or administrative duties for the diocese, etc.) I don't know for sure, but this is most certainly less than $10,000/yr.

Some religious sisters have other types of jobs as allowed by their orders (administration in hospitals, universities, faculty in universities or private academies) all of these are going to pay something, but that something is going to sway quite a bit depending on their credentials, etc.
