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.
Sydney, Australia
Progressive income tax includes a 2% Medicare levy, while superannuation is paid by the employer on top of salary instead of being deducted from it. Housing dominates the budget: rents near the centre absorb a large share of take-home pay and have outrun wages for years.
