LOW salary is correct and it will fit in a SMALL wallet.... |

Either is correct. I have no idea why anyone should think there �s something wrong with collocating �small � with �salary �. �Low salary � certainly gets more hits on Google and slightly more entries in the British National Corpus (BNC) but, interestingly, has fewer entries in COCA (Corpus of Contemporary American English).
Obviously the context is important, since �small salary � could also refer to a nominal sum, a modest retainer etc.

On a more everyday note - regardless of grammar, BOTH are depressing.... and therefore WRONG
