Johannesburg, South Africa

PAYE runs from 18% to 45% with a rebate that lifts the effective threshold, and UIF takes 1% up to a low ceiling. Everyday costs are modest, but rent, private security and medical aid are often paid separately from tax, so the gap between a professional salary and a comfortable one is wider than the brackets suggest.

Prague, Czechia

Income tax is a flat 15% up to a high threshold and 23% above it, with social and health contributions deducted on top. Rents have climbed quickly in the centre, but public transport and everyday costs remain low, so take-home pay stretches further than in western Europe.
