Answer Some clergy e.g. monks are unpaid whilst others are paid. Clergy of Protestant denominations have salaries established by the church, diocese or individual parish. Catholic clergy receive much less than Protestant clergy as their lives are, in theory, meant to be simpler because there is no wife or children.

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.
