§ 01 · The verdict

Indonesia leaves you with $42,700 more per year — a 78.6% net advantage over France on a $100,000 gross.

Most of the gap is opened by Indonesia's Indonesia 4-Year Territoriality regime, which displaces the standard schedule. Both countries are indicated in USD at the displayed FX.
