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.

Auckland, New Zealand

Progressive income tax includes an ACC levy, and there is no social security contribution beyond that. Housing is the binding constraint: rents and house prices have outrun wages for two decades, and transport costs are high for a city of its size.
