Whats a good salary to live comfortably in Bangalore?
Got a job offer which is asking me to relocate to bangalore. I’m currently based out of Gurgaon and not familiar with the rent/amenties scene there. What is a good salary range to live a good life there? By good I mean - Living in a decent (subjective ik) society with some basic amenities like gym, park, pool (would love that) etc. - Dining/Partying at least once a month. - Going out to some place atleast once a week - Having a maid for cooking + cleaning Other expenses would remain same across cities (digital products/shopping etc) All pointers appreciated.

As ElonTusk mentioned, 1L sounds about right.
2 BHK in decent societies outside of tech areas is 30-35k
Cook & Maid is about 8-10k
Outing is subjective but at-least 2k per outing (dining/partying)
Groceries at least 5-8k for two people (including snacks etc)
Fuel cost is up to you, I spend around 10k
Electricity is 1.2-1.5k now (post new Govt & hike in prices)
1L net salary (in hand) will provide a comfortable life for a couple. You can of course manage with a lot lesser if you can remove some of these things

Atleast 5 lakh per month
Atleast 1L in hand if you also wanna do savings and investment.
If not even 50-70K is enough.
