Living on $100k in NYC

What a 100,000 dollar salary actually looks like in New York. After federal tax,

New York State, New York City tax, and FICA, your take-home is

roughly 5,700 to 5,900 a month. Most people are not living in

Manhattan. A typical one-bedroom runs 2,000 to 2,500. That is why

people making 100k still choose to share, keeping rent closer to 1,500.

Transportation, groceries and other food expenses total around 1000 bucks. Utilities,

phone, gym, and subscriptions are roughly 350 to 450.

So after normal expenses, you are saving around 800 to 1,200 a month.
