Under the Four Times Rent standard, a full-time job in Los Angeles County, California needs to pay at least $85.06 an hour before taxes, about $176,922 a year. That leaves $9,160 a month after taxes, four times the typical $2,290 rent on a studio apartment.
The minimum wage here is $16.90 an hour (California minimum wage). The standard is 5.0 times that. A full-time minimum-wage job takes home about $2,467 a month, 27% of the standard.
Take the typical monthly cost of a studio apartment, multiply by four, and divide by 160 hours of work a month. That's the take-home pay needed per hour. The pay before taxes is what it takes to keep that much after federal, state and local income taxes and Social Security and Medicare.
The idea behind the standard is laid out in Chapter 1: The Living Wage Revolution.
