In the US, it depends entirely on where you live. $8400 gets you an excellent flat, in most locations.
No "council tax" but there are usually a mix of local and state taxes that add up to about half that.
Electricity: also depends where you live: here, the lowest bill would probably be $1200, but others will see $600.
Water: always included in rent
Car tax: none
Car insurance: usu. about double.
TV Licence: none
Phone: 24.99/month Vonage (or something) = $600, but it's "unlimited" time and long distance. This assumes high-speed Internet, which I cannot live without but others may find unnecessary.
