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.

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.
