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.

San Francisco, United States

California adds a steep state income tax on top of federal brackets, and FICA takes a further slice for Social Security and Medicare. Salaries are high, but the Bay Area premium shows up mostly in housing, which is why a six-figure gross can still leave only modest savings.
