Cost of Living in the US

The cost of living varies state to state. Some states have a higher cost of living, but offset that cost by eliminating state income tax. The US is an individualistic society, meaning most items cost per person, not per family.

Pay

Deductions from your paycheck typically include mandatory taxes (federal, state, social security, medicare/medicaid), health/vision/dental insurance, additional life insurance, and any other advances that are owed to Interstaff. The amount taken for taxes is dependent on your personal situation; marriage, dependents, and deductions are taken into consideration when applying tax deductions.
