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.
Jakarta, Indonesia
Progressive income tax starts at 5% after a tax-free threshold, with small BPJS deductions for pension and health. Rents are moderate by regional standards, but long commutes and car ownership take a large share of take-home pay, so where you live matters more than the gross offer.
