Which country? Which subject? It varies, and it's usually spoken of annually in the English speaking world.
A biology instructor in the US might be around $50,000 a year, or a little less, which could be I guess 3-5 thousand a month. Some professors make more than 100k per year, but that's more common in subjects like business.
A film person in the UK could expect between £ 21 and 28 thousand a year at entry level, and go up to 50 thousand pounds in their career.

It depends on the level, too; colleges try to pay as little as they can, so a lot of people work for poverty wages and little-to-no health care or job security. Some don't even have yearly contracts, but are only given a semester-long contract.
Your average graduate student (even one who's only a month from getting a PhD) will make between $8k and $16k a year, and may or may not have a comprehensive tuition and health care package. They still have to pay student fees, which may equal a month's salary.
Lecturers and adjuncts may be paid by contract, or by the hour; some are not protected if their classes get cancelled, while others are. Some of these folks only make $1000 a month, while others make $30k per year. Some get free tuition to continue their studies, some don't even get health care.
Professor salaries range based on the field, the level (assistant, associate, full, distinguished), the type of school that's hired them, merit increases, grants, etc. I've known some in the humanities, who receive around $140,000 per year, while others may only make $40k per year.

It varies by college and university... it varies by "title". Instructor, Professor, Visiting Professor, Associate Professor... it may also vary by contract, 4-month, 8-month, 10-month, 12-month.... also by highest degree earned... masters, masters +30, PhD.
Most public colleges and universities will post a salary schedule online at their website (as this is public information.) You'll just have to dig around to find it.
