What % Of Your Salary Pays Your Rent? by deathwing(m): 3:40pm On Mar 28, 2017
Hello guys,

I'd like to know what percentage of your salary is used to finance your annual rent. Is the accommodation standard to your liking?

I know its not a one-size-fits-all thing, but I'd like to get the generally feeling on this issue.

Thanks!

A wise person uses 100% of their salary in the first few years of working to ensure they never have to spend even 1% of their salary on rent in the future.

Annual or monthly? Gross or net ? You have to be explicit.

Op your question is ambiguous

Is it monthly pay or yearly pay.

If the former, I assure you 80% of Nigerians monthly salary wont pay their annual rent, if it could then that person is senseless to still be a tenant.

But is it the later, reconstruct please

For me,


I save 50percent of my salary, Spend 30percent on a monthly basis and 20percent goes to accommodation. I think 15-20percent of what you earn should be allocated to accommodation.

Well my 3 months salary caters for my annual rent. But i usually advise that your 2 months salary at most should cater for your rent. But most times, i rely on outside jobs or runs to pay rent. Hope this help

It is said that toothbrush should be changed every 3 months, well, bro I've used one toothbrush for 3 years, and still using it! Now why Am I saying this?

Bro, your life, your income and where you live is your choice.

Just have a good reason for doing whatever you do, and be sure that you can give an account to God on how you lived your life on earth

Your annual rent should never exceed your two months salary, otherwise you are on a very long thing . Be wise bro.

Wrong. That is about 8% na.

100/12 is 8.33.


Modify.

Oh you are right. Two portions of the 8.33 which represent two months is 16.66%.

Most house rents are finance by tips, runs and fraudulent practices in work place. As a supplier i know what I see with workers especially admin /procurement people. Those guys cannot make heaven.
