Currently considering relocating to San Diego for work and trying to get a realistic idea of what my monthly take-home pay would look like after California state taxes.

Single, 27 years old, no kids.

Current estimated monthly expenses:
Rent: ideally under $2,700 (looking around Little Italy / nearby areas)
Car payment: $550
Car insurance: ~$180
401k contribution: 6%
Savings goal: $500/month
Salary would be around $128k/year.

Mainly trying to understand:
Rough monthly California state tax deduction
Estimated take-home pay after taxes/401k
Whether this salary feels comfortable in San Diego

26M, Single, $115k salary, choosing between San Diego and Las Vegas. Budget is ~$2,600 for rent. I eat out daily and want a good lifestyle but also don’t want to feel broke. I also want some distance from family (they are in Vegas). Which city would you choose and why?
