I joined Tiger Analytics with CTC of 9lpa. When I check in greythr IT statement, it shows 7.14lpa.
In the CTC payslip, it shows 75k per month as my salary. But this month I got 61k.
I understand they deduct tax, but I feel it is too much. IDK where I'm losing the money. Can someone tell if this is normal. I'm a fresher so, IDK much about it.
Also, what can I do to pay less taxes? Any help on that?
Which cloud MasterCard use for big data?

If this person was living in a $3000 one-bedroom apartment in Astoria, they would be as comfortable as someone making the same and spending $5000 a month for a one-bedroom in the WV.
At the end of the day, it’s not about what you make, it’s about what you keep. Cash flow is life in this city. Maximizing your enjoyment while minimizing your spend is one of NYCs excitements.

You'll be fine, just humble yourself and move to Queens and keep your rent < $2500.

I didn't live alone until I paid off my debts.
Expect to pay ~$4k on rent unless you’re a bit farther out of manhattan. There are for sure better deals especially if you’re will to sacrifice space and quality.
Should be taking home ~$10k a month post tax.
So about $4k left over for recreation, savings (including 401k).
You’ll be comfortable but it won’t be the most financially savvy move…but most of us aren’t here for that
Lived with roommates but paid 3k in a nice place. Was making ~200k and paid 2.5k in loans a month. Very easy to do but kind of depends on life style. I think 10k a month is generally right as C1 said so you have 8k after student loans which imo is still a lot. I spent around 3k in rent and 1.5k a month in non rent expenses like eating out, travel etc

Depends on your lifestyle. It should be doable. Use an nyc salary calculator to see how much you’d have left over.
Depends on your total expenses.
