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.

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.
