Understanding GDP per Capita — a simple guide
What it measures
GDP divided by mid-year population, in current US dollars.
How it is calculated
GDP ÷ population. It shows average output (roughly, average income) per person in US dollars.
A country with GDP of $4,000 billion and 1,450 million people has GDP per capita of about $2,760.
Higher values usually mean higher average incomes and living standards.
Lower values mean lower average income; the World Bank uses similar measures to group countries by income level.
Why it matters for the economy and markets
It is a rough measure of average income and living standards and is used to classify countries by income level.
How to read it
Market exchange rates can understate living standards in lower-cost countries — compare with GDP per capita PPP.
What to look at alongside it
GDP per capita PPP, population growth and inequality.
