3 pence a hour

Answer:

Without adjusting for cost of living and so on the pay seems to be pretty dismal. In the mid-1860s mais in London in London received about £21 pounds/year. For a ten hour day this would be 8d. In today's money a maid would work for a minimal pay of about $20,000, about the same as a McJob.
