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.
Tokyo, Japan
Income tax is national, while the local inhabitant tax is billed a year later, and social insurance contributions are substantial. Rents have stayed comparatively flat for a global capital and everyday costs are moderate, so take-home pay stretches further than the gross-to-net gap implies.
