My boss would like me to work in our heardquarters in chicago and offered me a 95k$ salary.
Here are my questions:

- How much is (or how to calculate) my take home salary?

I am not a tax expert, but I estimate take home as around 80% of the total. It isn't as difficult to find an apartment, but the better areas are much more expensive. Many families move to the suburbs and commute. And no apartment tax as far as I know, simply a deposit typically.
