How rich am I compared to the world?
Enter your take-home household income, household size and country to see your income rank among 100 people of the world and of your country, from World Bank PIP data, drawn as 100 painted people on a road from a village to a city.

Your income is used on this device only. It never goes into the address, storage, the share text, the card or analytics.
How it is calculated
What you enter
Everything that reached the household in 2025 after tax (everyone combined), the number of people in the household (1 to 12, children count), and one of 12 countries.
Turning it into dollars per person per day
Income is brought back to 2021 prices with that country's consumer price index (US: ÷1.188), converted with the 2021 purchasing power parity factor (Korea: 943.42 won per dollar; US: 1), then divided by 365 days and by household size. That is the unit of the World Bank distribution.
Your place among 100
The World Bank gives the share of people below each of 44 lines ($0.25 to $1,000 a day); between lines the share follows a straight line. The share of people below your daily income is rounded to two decimals and placed in one of 100 slots counted from the village end. Your rank is 101 minus that slot. Above $1,000 a day everyone stands in the first slot.
Times the median, people with less
The world median is the point where exactly half the distribution lies below: $9.22 a day. Your daily income divided by it is shown to one decimal. "People with less income" is that share times the 2024 world population of 8,141,808,945, rounded to the nearest 10 million.
The number beside the lantern
Each painted figure is 1% of a population: 81,418,089 people on the world road, 3,401,109 on the US road. So that many people share your spot, and the label says so.
Why per person
The World Bank distribution is household income (or consumption) divided by household size. Dividing your income by an equivalence scale instead would compare an equivalised number with a per-person distribution and overstate every family's rank. So this page divides the way the data does.
Which surveys are behind the lines
United States: Census Bureau CPS ASEC 2024 (actual). Korea: the 2021 Survey of Household Finances and Living Conditions by Statistics Korea, the Bank of Korea and the FSS (harmonised by LIS as SHFLC-LIS), projected to 2024 by the World Bank. The other countries are PIP's 2024 values too.

|---|---|---|---|
| Korea | income | $58.45 | KRW |
| United States | income | $72.18 | USD |
| Japan | income | $44.94 | JPY |
| China | consumption | $14.96 | CNY |
| Canada | income | $63.43 | CAD |
| Australia | income | $63.75 | AUD |
| United Kingdom | income | $56.63 | GBP |
| Germany | income | $63.55 | EUR |
| France | income | $57.82 | EUR |
| Vietnam | consumption | $14.35 | VND |
| Philippines | consumption | $5.87 | PHP |
| India | consumption | $6.05 | INR |
Limits
- The world line mixes income surveys (most rich countries) with consumption surveys (China, India, the Philippines, Vietnam and others).
- Household surveys under-cover the very rich, so the top 1% is thin. Number 1 means inside the top 1%, not an exact rank.
- Korea's line is the 2021 survey projected to 2024 by the World Bank; your income is the 2025 amount brought back to 2021 prices.
- Income is divided by the plain number of people; the savings of living together (equivalence scales) are not applied.
- Everything is in 2021 PPP. Another base year would move the numbers a little.

Questions
What data is this based on?
The World Bank Poverty and Inequality Platform (PIP), September 2026 release, 2024 distribution. It combines household surveys from each country into the share of people living on less than a given amount per person per day, in 2021 purchasing power parity (PPP) dollars. This page takes that share at 44 lines from $0.25 to $1,000 a day and joins the points with straight lines.
Why divide by household size?
The World Bank distribution is per person: household income divided by the number of people in the household. Dividing the same way compares like with like. A child counts as one person. Another divisor, such as an OECD equivalence scale, would rank every family higher than the data supports.
What counts as take-home income?
Money that actually reached the household after tax and payroll deductions (disposable income): wages, business income, pensions and benefits, for everyone in the household, for the whole of 2025. If you do not know the exact figure, monthly take-home pay times 12 is close enough.
What is PPP, and why not use exchange rates?
Purchasing power parity converts currencies by what it costs to buy the same basket of goods. In 2021, 943.42 Korean won bought what one US dollar bought in the United States. Market exchange rates ignore price differences, so they understate living standards where prices are low. The World Bank distribution is in 2021 PPP, so this page uses the same.
Which survey is the country line?
For the United States it is the Census Bureau's CPS ASEC 2024. For Korea it is the 2021 Survey of Household Finances and Living Conditions, harmonised by LIS and projected to 2024 by the World Bank. China, India, the Philippines and Vietnam use consumption surveys, not income surveys, and the page says so when you pick them.
Aren't the very rich missing from surveys?
Yes. Household surveys under-cover very high incomes, so the top of the line is thin. Number 1 means inside the top 1%, not an exact rank. Any income above $1,000 a day per person is shown at the same place.
Can I rank my net worth?
Not yet. This version covers income only. A world wealth line needs more checks on its source and currency basis first.
