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.
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.
