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.
Singapore, Singapore
Taxes are low and progressive, with no capital gains tax, and CPF applies to citizens and residents rather than most foreign employees. The pressure comes from private housing and from a cost of living that has risen sharply, so net pay matters far more than the headline gross.
