(SmartAsset) - As housing, grocery, transportation and other essential costs pressure household budgets, earning a six-figure salary no longer guarantees financial comfort in much of the U.S. A single adult now needs at least $80,000 a year to live comfortably in every state, while the threshold exceeds $100,000 in nearly half of states.

For a family of four, the income needed to live comfortably is as much as $329,000.

SmartAsset used MIT Living Wage Calculator data to analyze the living wage in each state - what a full-time worker must earn to cover minimum basic needs - and adjusted it using the 50/30/20 budgeting rule.
