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.
