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.
Doha, Qatar
No personal income tax is levied on salaries, and employers typically provide housing or an allowance on top of base pay. Everyday services and schooling are expensive, but net pay keeps almost all of the gross figure, which is why savings rates here can be unusually high.

What this figure means
PPP re-prices pay for local living costs. Singapore sets the benchmark price level; every other card's gross is derived from the shared gross benchmark and re-priced at Singapore's prices, so every card's buying power is measured on the same price basis.
PPP re-prices pay for local living costs. Singapore's average prices are 12% lower than Doha's (indexed price level). Both cards start from the same nominal gross of QAR 341,720. At Singapore's prices that gross is worth QAR 300,369 — 12% less than Singapore's own QAR 341,720, reflecting Singapore's lower prices (S$105,479 at today's rate).
