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.

Seoul, South Korea

Progressive national income tax carries a local surcharge, and social insurance covers pensions, health and employment. Deposits rather than monthly rent dominate housing — jeonse contracts tie up large sums — which changes how far a monthly salary actually goes.
