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.
Moscow, Russia
Income tax is a shallow progressive scale from 13% to 22%, and employees pay no separate social contributions. The centre is expensive and imported goods carry a premium, so the flat-looking net figure hides a cost of living that varies sharply by district.
