Santiago, Chile
Second-category tax runs from 0% to 40% in UTM bands, with AFP pension, health and unemployment contributions deducted first. City-centre rents and private health plans are the main pressure points, and the cost of living varies sharply between communes.
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.
