What % Of Your Salary Pays Your Rent? by deathwing(op): 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.

It's very interesting the way you"ll get to find out that 75% of workers don't rely on their salaries to pay bills

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

300%
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
Re: What % Of Your Salary Pays Your Rent? by mykorheya(m): 10:48am On Apr 11, 2018
10% of annual pay is ok.

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
Re: What % Of Your Salary Pays Your Rent? by daroz(m): 10:49am On Apr 11, 2018
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.
