California adds a steep state income tax on top of federal brackets, and FICA takes a further slice for Social Security and Medicare. Salaries are high, but the Bay Area premium shows up mostly in housing, which is why a six-figure gross can still leave only modest savings.

Bogotá, Colombia

Health and pension contributions take 8% before a moderately progressive income tax that reaches 39% only for very high earners. Rents are low by regional standards, but transport, security and private healthcare add costs that the headline salary can hide.
