List of countries by GDP (PPP) per capita facts for kids
_per_capita_in_2024.svg)
This page lists countries by their gross domestic product (GDP) per person, using something called purchasing power parity (PPP). Think of GDP as the total value of all the goods and services a country makes in one year. When we say "per person," it means we divide that total by the number of people living there.
PPP helps us compare countries fairly. It adjusts the money value to show what you can actually buy in each country. For example, a dollar might buy more in one country than in another. PPP makes sure we compare how much people can afford, not just how many dollars they earn.
In 2019, the average GDP per person (PPP) around the world was about Int$ 18,381. This number is shown in "International dollars" (Int$). An International dollar is a made-up currency. It has the same buying power everywhere as a U.S. dollar in the United States.

How We Measure GDP Per Person
The numbers for gross domestic product (GDP) per person on this page come from PPP calculations. Big groups like the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank create these calculations.
It's important to remember that these numbers are estimates. Different groups might get slightly different results for the same country. This is because they have to make some guesses and use different ways to collect information. So, these figures should be used carefully.
Comparing how rich countries are can be tricky. Sometimes, people use nominal GDP. This is just the raw money value, without adjusting for how much things cost. But using PPP is often better. It helps us see the real differences in how people live. This is because PPP considers the cost of living and how much prices change (inflation). It doesn't just use exchange rates, which can make things look different than they are.
That's why GDP (PPP) per person is often seen as a way to measure a country's standard of living. However, it's not the same as how much money an average person actually earns.
Countries by GDP Per Person (PPP)
All the numbers in the table below are in current international dollars. They are also rounded to the nearest whole number.
The table usually lists countries based on their most recent estimates. You can also sort the table by different sources.
- Most country links in the table go to pages about "Income in (country)" or "Economy of (country)."

How Tax Havens Can Change GDP Numbers
Some countries are known as tax havens. These are places where companies can pay very low taxes. This can make their GDP per person numbers look much higher than they actually are. It's like a trick of the numbers.
For example, a lot of money that companies invest around the world might pass through these tax havens. This money doesn't always mean real business activity is happening there. It's more about moving money to avoid taxes. Experts call these "phantom" transactions.
In 2018, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) said that about 40% of all global foreign investments were "artificial." This means the money was just passing through empty companies in tax havens. These places often include countries like the Netherlands, Luxembourg, Ireland, and Singapore.
For example, Ireland's economic numbers became very confusing because of how big companies used it as a tax haven. Because of this, Ireland started using a different way to measure its economy. They now use something called modified gross national income (GNI*). This new measure gives a clearer picture of their real economy.
Many of the countries with the highest GDP per person numbers are also known as tax havens. This shows how much these special tax rules can affect a country's reported wealth.
