Median earnings What does the middle earner actually make in a month?
Median monthly earnings of employees, PPP dollars (ILO) — the middle earner, not the average. The gap to mean earnings is the skew: the US mean is a third above its median, and that difference is real information.
Luxembourg leads with $7,599 PPP/mo ; Rwanda sits last at $97 PPP/mo . Best-for-you first — higher is better here.

Unweighted mean of the published values in each region — our aggregation, not an official statistic.
How to read this figure Median monthly earnings from the ILO’s twin flow — same collection and unit as the mean, but the MIDDLE earner: half earn less, half earn more. Compare the two and the gap is the pay-scale skew itself (the US mean sits about a third above its median; Norway’s barely a tenth). Distinct from median income, which is equivalised disposable household income after tax and transfers — this is gross pay per employee.

How to read this list Median monthly earnings of employees, PPP dollars (ILO) — the middle earner, not the average. The gap to mean earnings is the skew: the US mean is a third above its median, and that difference is real information. 78 countries publish it; the rest are absent from the list rather than shown as zero. The figures were observed between 2021 and 2026 — a spread of 60 months — so this compares each country’s latest published number, not one moment in time. Every row carries its own date in the CSV and JSON ; use it. Nothing here is estimated or carried forward to fill a gap. This metric is one column of the full dataset .
