Your gross monthly income is $3780. Use the following information to calculate what you will have leftover after taxes and bills are paid:
-27% in taxes
-5% for healthcare
-$40/month for your phone
-$1200/month for rent
-$240/month for utilities
-$270/month for groceries
-120/month for your car payment
-$75/month for student loans
(Don't forget to deduct both percentages from the PRINCIPAL amount of $3780.) How much money do you have left in your savings?
27% of 3780 = 1020.6
5% of 3780 = 189
3780 - 1020.6 - 189 = 2570.4
40+1200+240+270+120+75 = 1945
2570.4 - 1945 = $625.40 leftover in savings
