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 1L in hand if you also wanna do savings and investment.

If not even 50-70K is enough.
