The Pope does not get paid. He is actually living on and is supported by the people in and out of the Vatican City State, and all his needs are catered by the people of the Papal Household. If he wishes to spend on for example, a new set of Tridentine vestments, with a not-so-big embroidery of his papal seal, he must ask and he will get it depending upon the availability and the reason why he wants it.

He only receives paychecks for and from:

a. gift by some clergy or any person who wishes it to be directed at his expense, but I think he divides it for this and that

b. for his family in his place, either if they want it or not.

c. if he wishes to ask one, and give it to somebody else he wants (like victims of calamities etc.)

but still it passes through the Papal Household.
