Is 2000+ a week a good wage here in Toronto?

[gourmetchefgirl]

@prplhayesr Yes you are right. I missed it.

 

[truthseeker78]

@simon74 Right? Obviously it's not,so why even ask? Gotta bump those numbers up.

 

[judahs]

@simon74 It’s not really that good in Toronto tho..

 

[daughterofthemosthigh]

@judahs Lol maybe if you have a family of 4

 

[faithisthekey]

@simon74 To add context, assuming it's all entirely regular salary without any deductions etc, it's about 138,445 per year. Which is over double the average salary nationwide.

@simon74 I was actually curious to read what everybody thought on this. The key word was Toronto. 100k per year is lots on the east coast, average in Edmonton, but how does it stack up for Toronto?

 

[wigginjs]

@wellandfit 100k in Toronto means you live a very average life as a single person. Most people have no idea how expensive Toronton has become.

@akdk1210 Don’t pay 7k for a rent and you should be good

 

[droynickel]

@vkap Impossible to do.. he's gonna be living in his car at that wage

@akdk1210 Depends on ur expenditures & goals.

104Gs/yr goes a far way for most.

But, not my quote but when given to me, was rather revealing:

@akdk1210 Most definitely, yes.

 

[pichaelmoon]

@akdk1210 You’re only in the 10% of the country!

 

[resjudicata]

@akdk1210 After tax or before tax? How many hours per week? Are you on-call? Will you need to drive? Will you need to have your own tools/equipment or car? Is it for one person or a household? How many people?

Generally yes…with many caveats.

 

[tyson88]

@akdk1210 not a good wage, tell us where did you get this shitty job?? OP
Ahem, Ahem

 

[vxf91]

@akdk1210 Are you really asking that? That's $8000 a month... do you not understand the value of a dollar? Or are you just trying to brag about making so much?
