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.

Shanghai, China

Progressive income tax reaches 45% at the top, and social insurance plus the housing fund are deducted before take-home pay. Central rents are high relative to local net salaries, and the housing fund works as a forced saving that only pays back when you buy.
