Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

Progressive income tax tops out at 30%, and EPF takes 11% as a forced retirement saving alongside small SOCSO and EIS contributions. Rents are moderate for a regional capital, though car ownership and tolls are close to unavoidable outside the rail corridors.

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.
