Jesus said you received free, give free.
Paul made tents so as not to be a burden on the brothers.
Following these guide lines, there are no "paid" clergy in Jehovah's Witnesses.
Even those who volunteer at Bethel, and the traveling brothers only receive "Room and Board" with a small monthly allowance.

Salaries of diocesan priests vary from diocese to diocese. According to a biennial survey of the National Federation of Priests’ Council, low-end salaries averaged $15,291 per year in 2002; high-end salaries averaged $18,478 per year. In addition to a salary, diocesan priests receive a package of benefits that may include a car allowance, room and board in the parish rectory, health insurance, and a retirement plan.

It differs. I would depend upon such things as the size of the congregation, the area where the church is located, the country, the denomination, just to name some. But what ever it is you should not expect to but barely make a living that way.
