Renting
What income do you need for $2,500 rent?
The annual income a NYC landlord typically wants to see for a $2,500/month apartment — calculated using this site's own affordability engine, not a rule of thumb.
This is the 40× rule income screening threshold only — the market convention most NYC landlords and management companies apply, not a legal requirement or a check against your real savings or debts. It doesn't include move-in cash (first month, security deposit, broker fee) or NYC's FARE Act broker-fee rules. Open the Rent Calculator for the full picture, including move-in costs and a guarantor lever.
