Here's the salary you need to afford rent in 10 of the largest US cities

City life can be glamorous — but it comes with a price.

In a 2016 report, personal-finance site SmartAsset determined how much you need to earn to afford rent in the largest U.S. cities. Spoiler alert: For a handful of these hot spots, you may need to be raking in six figures.

SmartAsset looked at the average cost of renting available two-bedroom apartments in 2016 in each city.

To calculate the gross income required, the site set the rent-to-income ratio at 28%. "Government housing standards say that housing is affordable if it doesn't require a household to spend more than 30% of its income on housing-related expenses including utilities and rent," SmartAsset says in the report. "Therefore, we allowed for households to spend no more than 28% of their income on rent alone."

Read on to see how much you would have to make (before taxes) to afford rent in 10 of the biggest U.S. cities. We also included the percent change of average rents from 2015 to 2016 (provided by SmartAsset) to give you an idea of how much rent is increasing in each city.
