I'm planning on going to Puerto Rico next year as part of my year abroad scheme at University. Approximately how much do you think it'd cost to live over there (including taxes etc. I'm from England so am not too familiar with the tax system over there)? Please include approximate figures for rent/healthcare etc. too please! Thanks ! :]|||Budget about $20,000 USD and that should see you through for a year|||ok, well if the minimum wage of the USA its about 21,000 per year then you should probably want to at least have 25,000 for a whole year if your by yourself, if you have other dependants then that could come up to 30,000 or more.

Puerto Rico tax system is still a mess because it was established not long ago, so usually its about
6-7% per american dollar. In some cases it could go up 7.5% but not more than that. You have to be careful with some local places, they will try to say the tax its more in order to take your money but you need to be very familiarized with the system or ask locals that work in supermarkets and can answer that for you. In some cases there are still places that dont pay taxes and therefore you dont need to pay them tax, usually the illegal markets are the ones that dont have to pay taxes and if they try to ask for tax their suppose to have a license number like in the states proving they pay taxes, you can ask to see that.|||Why don't you find another place to go? The hot caribbean sun is no good for your white skin.If a mosquito bites you, [they love white skin] you want to sue, and there is no money there.. try Cuba instead!
