In the UK, the first £12,570 of income is tax-free (personal allowance). You then pay 20% on income up to £50,270, 40% up to £125,140, and 45% above that. National Insurance adds a further 8% between £12,570 and £50,270. Most employees are also auto-enrolled into a workplace pension at a minimum 5% employee contribution.
Americans pay federal income tax at rates from 10% to 37%, plus FICA (Social Security 6.2% and Medicare 1.45%). On top of that, most states levy their own income tax — from a flat 3% to over 13% in California. Nine states including Texas, Florida, and Alaska have no state income tax at all.
The UAE and Saudi Arabia levy no personal income tax on employment income — residents keep 100% of their salary (though Saudi nationals pay GOSI social contributions). Hong Kong uses a unique system where you pay whichever is lower: progressive rates up to 17%, or a flat 15% on gross income.
