Doha, Qatar
No personal income tax is levied on salaries, and employers typically provide housing or an allowance on top of base pay. Everyday services and schooling are expensive, but net pay keeps almost all of the gross figure, which is why savings rates here can be unusually high.
Toronto, Canada
Federal and Ontario taxes apply together, alongside CPP and EI contributions. Housing has become the defining cost, with rents and home prices outrunning incomes for years, so a salary that looks comfortable on paper often leaves little after rent and transport.
