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.

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.
