An individual’s income is an important factor to determine the growth of our economic system. While we tend to separate humans into different countries and regions of the world, there’s currently no official data about the average income per person in the world.

But, we love data so we dug around a bit to find an answer. We must notify you that the data covers only 166 countries (the data is not available for all countries). Nevertheless, the data below may provide a close figure to the monthly average net salary by country in 2020.
