Riyadh, Saudi Arabia

There is no personal income tax on employment income. The figure above assumes a Saudi national and deducts the 9.75% GOSI share; expatriate employees pay no employee GOSI, so their net equals gross. Housing, private schooling and leisure are the real costs, and they are rising as the city expands.

Zurich, Switzerland

Income tax is low by European standards and split between federal, cantonal and municipal levels, but health insurance is bought privately and is expensive. Rents are high and vacancies are scarce; the compensation is exceptionally high net pay, which is why purchasing power holds up despite prices.
