Toronto, Canada
Federal and Ontario taxes apply together, alongside CPP and EI contributions. Housing has become the defining cost, with rents and home prices outrunning incomes for years, so a salary that looks comfortable on paper often leaves little after rent and transport.
Nairobi, Kenya
PAYE rises to 35% after NSSF, SHIF and the housing levy are deducted, so the headline rate understates the wedge on senior pay. City-centre rents and private schooling have climbed quickly, while matatu fares and security costs add a daily premium to living centrally.
