Global income rank uses Purchasing Power Parity (PPP) methodology from the World Bank Poverty and Inequality Platform (2024). Your income is converted to 2021 international dollars — a standardised unit that accounts for cost-of-living differences between countries — then compared against the global distribution. Source: Our World in Data / World Bank PIP.
Net worth ranking uses the Federal Reserve's Survey of Consumer Finances 2022 (the most recent comprehensive U.S. household wealth survey), comparing your net worth to households in the same age bracket.
Local rank is an approximation using a log-normal income distribution model calibrated to your country's Gini coefficient. It is less precise than the global ranking and is labelled accordingly.
Limitations: Global comparison covers income, not wealth or access to public services. Survey data underestimates top-tail wealth. Local percentile is a model estimate, not microdata. Results are for reference only — not financial advice.
