Depending on your debt, it's doable. I'm a teacher that just moved to Vermont. Housing costs are the worst of it, being a few hundred a month more than what I previously paid, and for less space at that. Next up, I came from somewhere state income tax wasn't a thing, so that's been another hit. I've got debt on top of bills, so I'm currently working at Stewart's on the weekends. That's enough to bring it back to comfortable. I'm also getting paid for my masters degrees though, so your situation may vary.

Online income calculator get pretty close to what comes out for taxes, but don't forget that insurance and retirement will also be coming out after that when you plan your finances.
