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.
Casablanca, Morocco
Income tax is progressive to 37% after a 25% professional-expense allowance, with CNSS and AMO deducted first. Day-to-day costs are moderate, but imported goods, private schooling and rents in the better districts rise faster than the local salary scale.
