There is a compensation book for ministers printed annually. It lists the average compensation for churches of various sizes. For a church running between 100-200 the compensastion is about 82k a year if I remember.
I think that to be a good starting point. I do believe Paul's usage of "Don't Muzzle the Ox" to a good principle as well.
