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.
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.
