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.
Moscow, Russia
Income tax is a shallow progressive scale from 13% to 22%, and employees pay no separate social contributions. The centre is expensive and imported goods carry a premium, so the flat-looking net figure hides a cost of living that varies sharply by district.
