How Are Church Offerings and Tithes Shared or Spent?

How are pastors funded or compensated in churches? Is there a standard percentage of offerings or tithes that goes to the pastor, or is the money managed solely for church expenses? For example, if a church collects offerings, tithes and a separate building fund, how should each fund be handled? Should a pastor be allowed to use money from offerings and tithes for personal needs, and what accountability should exist? How are assistant pastors paid? In large churches with several parishes, how much of each parish’s collection is usually remitted to the headquarters, and how are parish leaders compensated?
