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.

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.
