Dubai, UAE
There is no personal income tax, so gross and net pay are effectively the same. The trade-off is a consumption-taxed cost of living and high rents in newer districts, and none of the social insurance that European salaries fund through tax.
Santiago, Chile
Second-category tax runs from 0% to 40% in UTM bands, with AFP pension, health and unemployment contributions deducted first. City-centre rents and private health plans are the main pressure points, and the cost of living varies sharply between communes.

What this figure means
PPP re-prices pay for local living costs. Dubai sets the benchmark price level; every other card's gross is derived from the shared gross benchmark and re-priced at Dubai's prices, so every card's buying power is measured on the same price basis.
PPP re-prices pay for local living costs. Dubai's average prices are 37% higher than Santiago's (indexed price level). Both cards start from the same nominal gross of CL$93,987,702. At Dubai's prices that gross is worth CL$128,812,847 — 37% more than Dubai's own CL$93,987,702, reflecting Dubai's higher prices (AED 479,685 at today's rate).
