COUNTRY COMPARISON

Compare wealth across countries

See what it takes to reach the same wealth levels in two countries. Each country keeps its own currency and survey year.

Swap sides
Money amounts from different countries are not directly comparable.

Exchange-rate conversions are only rough estimates. They do not account for the cost of living or inflation, and some studies count households while others count families.

BSP compares primary economic units (PEUs): financially interdependent household members. Financially independent members may be excluded, so this is not necessarily full-household net worth.
