Singapore, Singapore
Taxes are low and progressive, with no capital gains tax, and CPF applies to citizens and residents rather than most foreign employees. The pressure comes from private housing and from a cost of living that has risen sharply, so net pay matters far more than the headline gross.
Santiago, Chile
Second-category tax runs from 0% to 40% in UTM bands, with AFP pension, health and unemployment contributions deducted first. City-centre rents and private health plans are the main pressure points, and the cost of living varies sharply between communes.
