This is a list of countries by nominal GDP per capita. GDP per capita is often considered an indicator of a country's standard of living; [1] [2] however, this is inaccurate because GDP per capita is not a measure of personal income. Measures of personal income include average wage, real income, median income, disposable income and GNI per capita.
This is similar to nominal GDP per capita but adjusted for the cost of living in each country. In 2023, the estimated average GDP per capita (PPP) of all of the countries was Int$22,452. [a] For rankings regarding wealth, see list of countries by wealth per adult.
The nominal Gross National Income per capita was the ninth-highest in the world at $68,827 in 2023. Correcting for purchasing power, per capita income was Int$57,781 or 10th-highest globally. [24] The income distribution is relatively equal but inequality has somewhat increased during the last decades. [25]
This article includes two lists of Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) member states sorted by their gross domestic product per capita, the value of all final goods and services produced within a nation in a given year, converted to U.S. dollars, divided by the average (or mid-year) population for the same year.
Denmark’s GDP per capita, at €52,000, is now the highest in Europe behind the financial and fiscal hubs of Luxembourg and Ireland and ahead of neighbors Germany and Sweden.
The following lists show the latest figures for GDP and GDP per capita. Most figures are 2024 data from the International Monetary Fund; figures for dependent territories (both GDP [1] [2] and GDP per capita [3]) are 2024 data from the United Nations. Figures from other sources and years are noted as such.
On the whole, PPP per capita figures are less spread than nominal GDP per capita figures. [5] The rankings of national economies over time have changed considerably; the economy of the United States surpassed the British Empire's output around 1916, [6] which in turn had surpassed the economy of the Qing dynasty in aggregate output decades earlier.
Below is a table of sovereign states in Europe by GDP (PPP) per capita in international dollars. [2] Countries are ranked by their estimated 2024 figures. Note: transcontinental countries that are partly (but not entirely) located in Europe are also shown in the table, but the values shown are for the entire country.
