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.
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.

What this figure means
PPP re-prices pay for local living costs. Tokyo sets the benchmark price level; every other card's gross is derived from the shared gross benchmark and re-priced at Tokyo's prices, so every card's buying power is measured on the same price basis.
