Italy Income Percentiles 2024: Median & Top 1%
The 2024 WID-based median annual income in Italy is EUR 30,296, or EUR 2,525 when divided by 12. The annual top-1% entry threshold is EUR 171,078. These are pre-tax national-income estimates for equal-split adults aged 20+, not employee salaries or household incomes.
Median income, average salary and income percentiles
The median is the 50th-percentile boundary, with half of adults below it and half above. The imported dataset contains percentile thresholds, not an arithmetic mean. Averaging these boundaries does not produce an average salary. A top-1% threshold is the entry boundary, not the average income of the richest 1%.

How is it calculated?
Annual pre-tax national income for equal-split adults aged 20+. This WID concept is broader than salary. Country rank uses local thresholds; worldwide rank uses WID purchasing-power conversion. We use logarithmic interpolation between points and extrapolation outside them.
This estimate is outside the published threshold range; it uses extrapolation and is more uncertain.
Amounts use each country's own currency and data year. This is a rank comparison, not an exchange-rate, cost-of-living or relocation estimate.

Compare adult median income
Italy, France, Spain and Austria share the euro, but equal euro amounts need not have equal purchasing power. The PPP comparison below adjusts for national price levels. Italy’s income distribution here does not provide regional, occupation-specific or net-salary percentiles.
| Country | Median (USD PPP) | Income / PPP year |
|---|---|---|
| Italy | 49,233.18 | 2024 / 2024 |
| France | 54,954.54 | 2024 / 2024 |
| Spain | 46,947.45 | 2024 / 2024 |
| Austria | 61,685.2 | 2024 / 2024 |
The top-10% threshold is 2.18 times the median; the top-1% threshold is 5.65 times the median. These ratios compare income boundaries, not shares of total income.
Sources and interpretation
Monthly equivalents divide annual income by 12; they are not take-home pay. PPP compares national price levels, not current exchange rates or personal living costs. WID estimates may be revised.
