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.

Lagos, Nigeria

The Nigeria Tax Act 2025 replaced the old relief structure with a 0% band on the first ₦800,000 and rates rising to 25%, while pension contributions of 8% come off before PAYE. Rents in the prime districts are often quoted in dollars and have repriced with the naira, so housing is the largest swing factor in any offer.
