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.

The difference between these two wealth levels is proportionally larger in Australia. These are comparisons within each country, not a comparison of living costs.

Countries may use different years and household or family definitions. Only available exact figures are compared; missing amounts are never guessed.
