So these are individual incomes, not household incomes? They seem high for median individual incomes. Edit: I forgot you mentioned location, someone in CA needs more to live the same lifestyle as someone in the south or Midwest.

If you have $4000/mo or $5000/mo then what will be after taxes? rough estimation is ok

[@Baiyoubai]

That really depends on a lot of factors, like how many dependents you have, your deductible expenses, charity giving, etc. I’d say 20% including federal and state, but again that’s a very rough estimate.
