  • Local prices: Connecticut's price level is 103.6% of the U.S. average (BEA Regional Price Parities), so $80,040 buys about what $77,251 would at national-average prices.
  • A 50/30/20 budget: about $3,335 a month for needs, $2,001 for wants and $1,334 for savings. Plan it in the budget calculator.
  • Rent: the 30% rule points to about $2,750 a month. Check it with your debts.
  • Saving 6% in a 401(k): puts $6,600 a year into retirement but lowers take-home by only $4,727, because traditional contributions skip federal income tax and Connecticut income tax.
  • Married, one income: filing jointly, take-home would be about $87,545.
