Bengaluru, India
The new tax regime applies slab rates with a cess on top, and employees contribute 12% of basic pay to EPF. Rents have risen sharply around the tech corridors, but everyday costs remain low, so a senior salary converts into unusually high local purchasing power.
Lagos, Nigeria
The Nigeria Tax Act 2025 replaced the old relief structure with a 0% band on the first ₦800,000 and rates rising to 25%, while pension contributions of 8% come off before PAYE. Rents in the prime districts are often quoted in dollars and have repriced with the naira, so housing is the largest swing factor in any offer.
