Thanks for the replies.

If each month you only get your base salary, then you only take home what, about 3k/mo? Do analysts really have any spending money before getting their bonus, considering that they’re paying over 2k/mo for NYC rent & food?

to rocketman08 and marine1300,

I’m an international with no knowledge at all of the US tax system. I could spend hours trying to figure out all the extra tax rates and deductions and tax breaks and allowances etc. and then end up with a figure that I’d still be somewhat unsure of. On the other hand, I could just ask it here, from people who have actually worked in NYC and can just give me a rough estimate, which is all I need at this point.
