Hong Kong, Hong Kong SAR

Salaries tax is progressive but capped at a 17% standard rate, there is no VAT, and MPF contributions are modest. The cost is housing: rents are among the highest in the set and flats are small, so disposable income depends heavily on whether accommodation is provided.

Nairobi, Kenya

PAYE rises to 35% after NSSF, SHIF and the housing levy are deducted, so the headline rate understates the wedge on senior pay. City-centre rents and private schooling have climbed quickly, while matatu fares and security costs add a daily premium to living centrally.
