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.

Reading income data for Japan
Japanese salary comparisons may cover employees working through the year or particular employment categories. This WID adult national-income table uses a different reference unit. Monthly equivalents simply divide the annual threshold by twelve and do not model bonuses or take-home pay.
