As Guppy said you don't get anything before bootcamp...that being said, you will get the pay at what ever scale your rate is, E1 or E2 pay, minus the ditty bag cost...being you are not married you will not get anything extra like BAH...you will be taxed at the rate of the state you are from as that is your home of record as a single person.
here is the most current pay scale I can find:

So for an approximate pay after state and federal taxes as an E2 you might see about $1000 plus or minus..(between state and federal taxes they take on average 1/3 and sometimes it can be more) .however with all that is done with the cost of the ditty bag you will see less. It can take up to a few pay periods to get all straightened out to a regular pay you can count on the amount to be.
