I've wondered about that too... I don't remember if the issue has ever been explained in the novels, but I think it's probable that level 4-5 students have a scholarship and a decent living expenses grant. Or at very least the level 5, considering how any school boarding them can use their image for prestige.

EDIT: Ah, seems like I'm missing the point. Touma's family doesn't seem to be poor indeed... Maybe his allowance is short as a decision to "man him up" or something.
