What a NZ$100,000 salary in Auckland is worth in Sydney?

Auckland, New Zealand

Progressive income tax includes an ACC levy, and there is no social security contribution beyond that. Housing is the binding constraint: rents and house prices have outrun wages for two decades, and transport costs are high for a city of its size.

Sydney, Australia

Progressive income tax includes a 2% Medicare levy, while superannuation is paid by the employer on top of salary instead of being deducted from it. Housing dominates the budget: rents near the centre absorb a large share of take-home pay and have outrun wages for years.
