What Were The Wages in 1500s?
There were no "wages" exactly in the middle ages. Nobles were paid through the work of their serfs and peasants as well as taxes. Serfs were slaves so there were no wages. Peasants got to keep some of the food they grew so that was their wages. Monks weren't paid and the church was paid in taxes by the everyone. The king collected taxes from everyone. A guild apprentice wasn't paid because what he learned was considered payment. Merchants did sell items to people and there was a lot of barder going on as well. Money was very hard to come by.
