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.

Istanbul, Türkiye

Income tax rises from 15% to 40% after SGK contributions, with a stamp duty on gross pay. Inflation has reshaped real wages year after year and central rents have surged, so a salary that looked generous when signed can feel ordinary by the next review.
