Salary Spectrum: Here's How Much Money You Need Just To 'Get By' In Each US State

The salary required to "get by" is vastly different depending on which state you live in. In some states, you can make less than $50,000 a year and be just fine. In others, you need to make more than $100,000. 

What To Know: A single workers' median income in the U.S. is $57,200 — a salary that will keep you afloat in just 30 states, according to CNBC.

Depending on where you live, you may have to make some sacrifices to get by. A lot of it has to do with housing. The overall median home price in the U.S. is $410,200, well above average income.

And single people often pay much more than married couples, who are able to split housing costs.

Home prices also vary greatly depending on location. In the Midwest, $366,600 is the median home price. In the South, it's $311,800, while on the coast and around big cities, prices are much higher.
