San José, Costa Rica

Salary tax is 0% on the first ₡918,000 a month, then 10% to 25%, with CCSS contributions of 10.83% deducted before tax. Rents have risen with foreign investment and tourism, and car ownership, private schooling and imported goods carry a premium.

Dubai, UAE

There is no personal income tax, so gross and net pay are effectively the same. The trade-off is a consumption-taxed cost of living and high rents in newer districts, and none of the social insurance that European salaries fund through tax.
