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.

Istanbul, Türkiye

Income tax rises from 15% to 40% after SGK contributions, with a stamp duty on gross pay. Inflation has reshaped real wages year after year and central rents have surged, so a salary that looked generous when signed can feel ordinary by the next review.
