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.
Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
Progressive income tax tops out at 30%, and EPF takes 11% as a forced retirement saving alongside small SOCSO and EIS contributions. Rents are moderate for a regional capital, though car ownership and tolls are close to unavoidable outside the rail corridors.
