Shanghai, China

Progressive income tax reaches 45% at the top, and social insurance plus the housing fund are deducted before take-home pay. Central rents are high relative to local net salaries, and the housing fund works as a forced saving that only pays back when you buy.

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.
