The total percentage of money he spends on rent and groceries is 20% + 30% = 50%
When he spends 50% of his salary on groceries and rent, the total amount of money he uses is $600 + $400 = $<<600+400=1000>>1000
Since 50% of his salary is $1000, then 1% is $1000/50 = $<<1000/50=20>>20
If 1% of his salary is $20, 100% of his salary is $20 * 100 = $<<20*100=2000>>2000. Answer: \boxed{2000}.
