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.
Moscow, Russia
Income tax is a shallow progressive scale from 13% to 22%, and employees pay no separate social contributions. The centre is expensive and imported goods carry a premium, so the flat-looking net figure hides a cost of living that varies sharply by district.

What this figure means
PPP re-prices pay for local living costs. Doha sets the benchmark price level; every other card's gross is derived from the shared gross benchmark and re-priced at Doha's prices, so every card's buying power is measured on the same price basis.
PPP re-prices pay for local living costs. Doha's average prices are 66% higher than Moscow's (indexed price level). Both cards start from the same nominal gross of ₽5,300,910.
