Tokyo, Japan
Income tax is national, while the local inhabitant tax is billed a year later, and social insurance contributions are substantial. Rents have stayed comparatively flat for a global capital and everyday costs are moderate, so take-home pay stretches further than the gross-to-net gap implies.
Jakarta, Indonesia
Progressive income tax starts at 5% after a tax-free threshold, with small BPJS deductions for pension and health. Rents are moderate by regional standards, but long commutes and car ownership take a large share of take-home pay, so where you live matters more than the gross offer.
