Mexico Income Percentiles 2024: Median & Top 1%
The 2024 WID-based median annual income in Mexico is MXN 121,462, or MXN 10,122 when divided by 12. The annual top-1% entry threshold is MXN 3,828,402. 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
Mexico’s MXN thresholds include the broader national-income concept and should not be treated as formal-sector wages. Brazil, Colombia and the United States offer selected comparisons in a shared purchasing-power unit. They are not exchange-rate quotes or estimates of migration costs.
| Country | Median (USD PPP) | Income / PPP year |
|---|---|---|
| Mexico | 11,721.47 | 2024 / 2024 |
| Brazil | 11,523.38 | 2024 / 2024 |
| Colombia | 9,232.9 | 2024 / 2024 |
| United States | 52,806 | 2024 / 2024 |
The top-10% threshold is 5.36 times the median; the top-1% threshold is 31.52 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.
