Richest Countries 2026: GDP per Capita
GDP per capita for 192 economies. Liechtenstein: $226,809; United States: $94,430. IMF data with reference years, rankings and source comparisons. This list uses economic output per person. It does not rank household wealth, typical salaries, or the assets owned by citizens.
The table compares nominal GDP per capita with purchasing-power-parity GDP per capita. Nominal readings use current US dollars; PPP readings use international dollars. They answer different questions and must not be added together. Each value has its own reference year.

Use this data in your own work
Every figure on this page is available as JSON or CSV from the same API the site runs on. Source, license and terms travel with the response, so attribution is not left to you to reconstruct.

Economic output: nominal GDP per capita divides domestic production valued at current market exchange rates by population. Liechtenstein is highest in the displayed nominal dataset at $226,809 (2026). This is a property of the selected measure and coverage, not a claim that every resident receives that amount.
Purchasing power: PPP adjusts the price basis to make volumes more comparable across countries. Its ranking can differ from the nominal ranking because local prices differ. The PPP column uses a separate unit, and its reference year must be checked independently.
A typical household: median household income, consumption and wealth answer different questions from GDP per capita. A large average can coexist with an unequal distribution. Use inequality data and the relevant household surveys for distributional context.
Total economic size: a populous economy can have a large GDP without being near the top per person. See the largest economies for that comparison.

These are the latest available IMF readings in this dataset, with reference years shown per cell. Current and future years may be projections, and historical estimates can be revised. Population definitions, corporate activity and cross-border production can affect output-per-person measures. The ranking alone does not explain the causes of a change.
