As has been said, health insurance costs are all over the map. The best idea would be to call your future employer and get a copy of their specific plans. My PPO, dental, and eye care add up to somewhere around $60/paycheck (biweekly). I live and work in California (high state income taxes) and contribute a good chunk of income to my 401(k) plan. Currently my take home pay is a little over half of my gross pay. When I first started, my take home pay was close to 60% of my gross pay. Since then, I've racheted up my 401(k) contributions and my tax brackets have gone up as my income has increased.
