Hi

You would be paying roughly around 25% tax.
2bed room apartment will cost you around 1200-1500 USD unfurnished.
It depends on area too.
Internet around 40 USD 4 MBPS
Water..gas..electricity will cost you around 200 USD.
In building you have to pay around 200 -300 USD admin charges.
Job is tough to get here..if you dont know spanish.
Feel free to mail me or call me after 28 nov if you have any question.

You have it right

You already got answers, but to see diferent meanings always helps.

1 how much tax we need to pay if your salary lie on a salary band of 3500-4500 usd.
Not easy to answer. How do you earn this money, do you pay taxes for that in another country? Would you like to reside here or just a part time?? Could be nothing to 25%

2 how much is the rent for 2 bhk.
DEPENDS ON AREA..NORTH, SOUTH, WEST...BUT NORTH AREA YOU WILL PAY AROUND 500 TO 900 USD DEPENDING ON AREA. I agree

3 how much is the cost of internet electricity bill water bill gas bill comes on a monthly basis on an avg.
AROUND 300-400 USD   Depending on "Estrato".  In Bogota you have 6 estratos - higher means better living quality but you also pay more for gas eectricity,.... I spend around 150 USD monthly (3 Persons)

4 how much avg you spend on your basic necessities like milk bread etc.TWO PEOPLE AROUND 500 USD..YOU CAN EAT CHEAPLY ON RESTAURANTES FROM 3 USD TO 30 USD....MENU...DAILY MENU..... I agree

Is this a question?

6.how much is the gym cost per month...AROUND 30-40 USD...APROX... depending on gym...I would say 40-70 USD

7) Do not forget to calculate public transport or car, driving license (yours may be valid up to 6 month) ....
8) Think about heath insurance ... private one 40-100 USD monthly...and other insurances
