Hey everyone,
I am a single 30 year old male currently residing in San Diego.
I am considering accepting a position within my company that would move me to Isla Verde.
I am excited about the opportunity but need to know what salary to ask/negotiate.
I have a few questions, I'm hoping someone can help me figure out.
I would like to live near work; close enough to walk or be a short drive from work which would be near the major hotels in Isla Verde. I would like to be walking distance to a nice beach and bars/restaurants. Would I deal with traffic every morning if I lived in Ocean Park or Condado to Isla Verde? Or would it be a breeze?
Could I find a decent rental with a great view and ample spaced 1 bedroom in these areas for around $1200-$1500?
I would need to calculate my moving expenses. I would like to bring my car. I have the title and the high Blue Book value is around $13,000. I gather it would cost about $1500 to ship it from Florida. Any idea about what the import tax cost would be? Could I load it with my belongings and/or would I have to pay any taxes on my possessions? Guitars/Electronics/misc possessions? If, not about what would it be to ship a small container of items? No furniture, but clothing/3 guitars/and a few misc boxes.
And lastly, I have tried every payroll calculator I could find but they vary.
I figured I would pay less in taxes, but that doesnt look to be the case. On a few of these calculators the PR tax would cost more than what I currently pay for federal + CA income taxes. Any idea what exactly a single guy with 1 allowance would pay in PR income tax on a $3600 biweekly paycheck?
Thanks so much for any advice/answers!
