Sydney, Australia

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.

Lagos, Nigeria

The Nigeria Tax Act 2025 replaced the old relief structure with a 0% band on the first ₦800,000 and rates rising to 25%, while pension contributions of 8% come off before PAYE. Rents in the prime districts are often quoted in dollars and have repriced with the naira, so housing is the largest swing factor in any offer.
