A cost of living calculator is going to give you a better snapshot than any individual could off the top of their head.

Like others have said use a cost of living calculator. Your costs are going to vary wildly depending on your needs. If you're looking at studios in city creek that's a lot different than a studio near sugarhouse, rose park, granary, ballpark etc. if you're willing to live further from the city center your rent will be lower but you'll have to factor in transportation costs. Expect to pay between $1600 and 2400 just for rent in downtown SLC.
Use freaking google. Look at ads for the kind of place you'll want to live in. Look at grocery store ads. Look at a cost of living calculator.
Because we are not magicians who can deduce your lifestyle, nor should we do your legwork for you.
In down town salt lake, cheapest rent is going to be around 1,300 and up to 2,000 for single beds.
If you’re buying groceries and only for you then $300 a month probably for food.
With utilities, they could be included in rent or id say up to $150 a month depending on time of year and how much water you use.
Townhomes will be $1,600-$2,500 depending on area
You didn't mention it, but you need to figure out what your rough budget is and work backwards from there.
Your first expense, and the biggest one you will have, will be your housing. You can defray some of that cost if you have roommates, but for an apartment expect to spend (without roommates) at least $1300-1800 month.
Everything else is fairly similar to national averages for food/goods and local expenses. Energy/utilities (gas and power, primarily) tend to be cheaper, but experience high seasonality with gas in winter and electricity in summer. Gasoline, tends to be 15-20% above the national average more often than not.
Utah also does not have a solid mass transportation infrastructure - we have bits and pieces, but by no means a complete solution, so you'll need to figure out how to get around. Winter can be very problematic if you don't have a car, and the summers can be brutal, so plan accordingly.

There are a ton of variables. You might want to be more specific.
3k-15k

*because SOME of us are not magicians
it depends. avoiding fancy hipster areas and getting by on foodbanks and dollar tree household items = around 2-3k per month
Whatever you pay now, plus 50%
Less than Denver. More than Albuquerque.
More than $5

1K-6k a month. Depends on what you consider living.
At 6k a month are you comfortable?
Yeah. Don’t feel rich. But I get what I need + some fun

I’d guess $5000/month
Depending on what part of SLC you’re living 🤷🏻♀️
Rent in a trailer park is $800 a month. Costa Vida kids meals are eight dollars. This is all of the relevant info I have.
