cost of living worksheet
your job: sales representative
average salary: $36,000 annually / $3,000 monthly.
note: these are pre-tax amounts, so your take-home pay will be roughly $2,000 monthly.
based on your salary, what percentage of your monthly take-home pay will go to each of the following expenses? you will use $2,000 as your total take-home pay for the month.
instructions: fill in the last column with the correct percentage. the first one, the apartment, has already been done for you. the apartment is $500/$2000 = .25. so, 25% of your monthly total take-home pay goes towards rent.
**be sure to check your division and where you place the decimal point for each of your responses.** the total % can not be higher than 100%.
