The spread
185 countries, one dot each, on one scale — further right is a higher value. Half the countries are above 17,265; a quarter are above 40,846, and a quarter below 6,726. The bar in each row marks that continent’s middle country.
04All 199 ever measured
Every country
In order, highest value first. “=” marks a position shared with another country. World Bank Group ranks nobody on this measure; the position is derived here by ordering the published values. This is the most editorially loaded table on the site. Nobody publishes a ranking of countries by income, and calling a richer country a better one is an opinion, so it is deliberately left out of the Country Index.

08The measure
About GDP per capita (PPP)
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.
What the number is: GDP per capita (constant 2021 international $, PPP).
What it does not measure
It is an average, so it says nothing about how income is shared, and it counts output rather than wellbeing: unpaid work is left out and spending on repairing damage is counted in.

12Questions
GDP per capita (PPP): questions and answers
Which country has the highest GDP per capita (PPP)?
Singapore, at 139,593, among the 185 countries compared in 2025.
Which country has the lowest GDP per capita (PPP)?
Burundi, at 1,067, among the 185 countries compared in 2025.
How many countries does the GDP per Capita (PPP) cover?
185 in 2025, and 199 at least once across all editions. The number measured varies from 185 to 199 between editions.
What is the world average GDP per capita (PPP)?
This site does not calculate a world average, which would depend on how countries are weighted. In the middle country of the 185 compared in 2025, the figure was 17,265.
Is this World Bank Group’s own ranking?
No. World Bank Group publishes the values but ranks nobody; the position on this page is derived by Nations Inquiry by ordering the published values, and equal values share a position.
How often is the GDP per Capita (PPP) published?
This site holds 36 reference years, 1990–2025, all recalculated in World Bank Group’s 2026 report on one method — not 36 separate publications.
Where does the data come from, and can I download it?
From World Bank Group, under CC BY 4.0. 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. Every edition is on this site’s Datasets pages as a full table, and downloads as a CSV file with every value unrounded.

How this page reads the numbers
- World Bank Group ranks nobody on this measure. The position is derived by Nations Inquiry by ordering the published values; equal values share a position.
- Which end is better follows the publisher’s own reading of the measure.
- A country is named at an end only when it holds that value alone. Where several share it, the page says how many and names none first.
- Values are stored exactly as published and trimmed only for display. “The middle country” is the median of the countries measured, not a world average.
The file itself, column by column — where it came from, what each column holds, and every edition as a CSV — is on its dataset page.
