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.
Istanbul, Türkiye
Income tax rises from 15% to 40% after SGK contributions, with a stamp duty on gross pay. Inflation has reshaped real wages year after year and central rents have surged, so a salary that looked generous when signed can feel ordinary by the next review.
