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.

Seoul, South Korea

Progressive national income tax carries a local surcharge, and social insurance covers pensions, health and employment. Deposits rather than monthly rent dominate housing — jeonse contracts tie up large sums — which changes how far a monthly salary actually goes.
