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.
Doha, Qatar
No personal income tax is levied on salaries, and employers typically provide housing or an allowance on top of base pay. Everyday services and schooling are expensive, but net pay keeps almost all of the gross figure, which is why savings rates here can be unusually high.
