what % of your income goes toward rent?

Ideally it shouldn't be more than 22-27%. I have student loans so I essentially just use it as a rent subsidy but minus the loans I would be at 78%, with about 20%. Toronto is rape and what's worse about it is there is no uniformity in prices. Some girl can have a nice rack and swoon a landlord and pay 600 for my apartment, while I pay close to a grand. This girls lives with two other broads 10 mins away from me, if that, and pays 50 bucks less with two roommates.

No income at the moment, so that's 0%. That doesn't mean I'm not paying rent though, just that 0*n = 0.

I pay 3000 Chinese RenMinBi per month for a comfortable 36 square meter studio in Shanghai. That's roughly 500 USD. I made about 31,000 RMB last month after taxes(although I'll make more in the coming months). Utilities amount to only 180 RMB or so, so that's about 10% of my income.
Thing is, my work gives me a stipend for 3000 RMB so I don't really pay much of anything in the end.
Before coming to China, I was paying $750 per month for a studio in Long Beach, CA plus basic utilities while earning $2500/month after taxes.
0% versus 30%.
Tough call there, right?

30% after tax, but with an awesome place in South Beach.
With no car needed and no state income tax its a great deal IMO.

I live at home so 0%. If I were to leave (been considering it), my rent would be around 50% for an efficiency (studio). I would also have to give up my transportation. If I wanted a full one bedroom that number would jump to about 66% pre-tax. Probably not going anywhere for a while. Morris County NJ is fucked up when it comes to property.

23% after tax
I have super low expenses elsewhere. I eat for free. Paid off car. Not a big spender. I spent a shitload last year on clothes and goods that I'm still using this year. No T.V.
This year I'm saving 39-47% of my income depending on the month and pop-up expenses.

Studio, top location 45% net income (most utilities included). Warsaw, Poland.
And this is low price for the location, and average pay in Warsaw.

About 25% after tax with a spare bedroom for hosting guests, good relatively central location though. Might move to somewhere more central but smaller apartment soon.

I'm at about 25% but I'm in Manhattan currently. I think that is a decent percentage for a twenty-something. So many tool bags pay about 40% - They should move city.

45%...I am lucky...I live in L.A. (Miracle Mile a block from The Grove). People in my complex are at about 60 to 70%, which is common I hear for prime spots in the major metropolitan cities (LA,NY,MIA).
