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.

Jakarta, Indonesia

Progressive income tax starts at 5% after a tax-free threshold, with small BPJS deductions for pension and health. Rents are moderate by regional standards, but long commutes and car ownership take a large share of take-home pay, so where you live matters more than the gross offer.
