Zurich, Switzerland
Income tax is low by European standards and split between federal, cantonal and municipal levels, but health insurance is bought privately and is expensive. Rents are high and vacancies are scarce; the compensation is exceptionally high net pay, which is why purchasing power holds up despite prices.
Bogotá, Colombia
Health and pension contributions take 8% before a moderately progressive income tax that reaches 39% only for very high earners. Rents are low by regional standards, but transport, security and private healthcare add costs that the headline salary can hide.
