Cost of Living in Manhattan
Curious about the cost of living in New York City NY? According to a 2006 article in New York Magazine, the value of a dollar in New York City is only 76% what it is in 26 other cities in the United States. Why? Taxes, for starters. A family of four living in New York City on $150,000 will likely spend 15.1% of their income on sales, auto, income, and property taxes. That's $22,635. Also, because New York City is arguably the cultural hub of the United States, you can expect to pay high prices for life-enhancing amenities such as baseball tickets and gym memberships. An annual gym membership at Equinox in New York City costs about $1,900, while a gym membership in Minneapolis costs around $1,400.
It's easy to be intimidated by these statistics. But don't get discouraged: New York City boasts wages well above the national median. If you work a job that pays $27,840 in Birmingham, Alabama, you can expect to make somewhere around $36,720 in New York City.
