Progressive income tax includes a 2% Medicare levy, while superannuation is paid by the employer on top of salary instead of being deducted from it. Housing dominates the budget: rents near the centre absorb a large share of take-home pay and have outrun wages for years.
Prague, Czechia
Income tax is a flat 15% up to a high threshold and 23% above it, with social and health contributions deducted on top. Rents have climbed quickly in the centre, but public transport and everyday costs remain low, so take-home pay stretches further than in western Europe.
