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.

Doha, Qatar

No personal income tax is levied on salaries, and employers typically provide housing or an allowance on top of base pay. Everyday services and schooling are expensive, but net pay keeps almost all of the gross figure, which is why savings rates here can be unusually high.
