Paid twice: the health insurance you pay on top of taxes. Tax on purchases: the consumption tax rate applied to groceries, transport, utilities and leisure in the cost-of-living basket. Computed without deductions, with each place's official table and the Central Bank of Brazil exchange rate. In Rikezas it uses your real spending.
