San Francisco, United States

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.

Cairo, Egypt

Personal income tax is progressive up to 27.5% after a fixed allowance, with social insurance deducted at source. The pound has weakened repeatedly, which makes imported goods and private schooling expensive, and rents in the newer districts have climbed faster than local salaries.
