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.

Riyadh, Saudi Arabia

There is no personal income tax on employment income. The figure above assumes a Saudi national and deducts the 9.75% GOSI share; expatriate employees pay no employee GOSI, so their net equals gross. Housing, private schooling and leisure are the real costs, and they are rising as the city expands.
