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.
Cairo, Egypt
Personal income tax is progressive up to 27.5% after a fixed allowance, with social insurance deducted at source. The pound has weakened repeatedly, which makes imported goods and private schooling expensive, and rents in the newer districts have climbed faster than local salaries.
