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.
Moscow, Russia
Income tax is a shallow progressive scale from 13% to 22%, and employees pay no separate social contributions. The centre is expensive and imported goods carry a premium, so the flat-looking net figure hides a cost of living that varies sharply by district.

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.
