GDP per Capita (PPP)

36 years, 1990–2025 · 185 countries

GDP per capita measures a country’s output per person, converted at purchasing power parities so a dollar buys the same basket of goods everywhere. That conversion is what makes the figures comparable across countries — and what makes each one an estimate rather than a measurement.

This site holds every year from 1990 to 2025, read from World Bank Group’s own data and stored exactly as published.

Precision

The headline is stored to 11 decimals, as published.

Rounded by this site

Never. Tables on screen may show fewer decimals; the files never do.

Changed by this site

Reshaped into one row per country: regional and income-group totals are left out, only the columns listed are kept, each row gets its ISO 3166 code, and some country names are brought to one spelling. No value is recalculated, rescaled or rounded.

Pulled from the World Bank’s indicator API (NY.GDP.PCAP.PP.KD) and stored to whole dollars — two decimals on a PPP-converted national accounts estimate would be false precision.
