Seoul, South Korea
Progressive national income tax carries a local surcharge, and social insurance covers pensions, health and employment. Deposits rather than monthly rent dominate housing — jeonse contracts tie up large sums — which changes how far a monthly salary actually goes.
Cairo, Egypt
Personal income tax is progressive up to 27.5% after a fixed allowance, with social insurance deducted at source. The pound has weakened repeatedly, which makes imported goods and private schooling expensive, and rents in the newer districts have climbed faster than local salaries.
