What GDP per capita is

GDP per capita divides current-US$ GDP by population (NY.GDP.PCAP.CD). It is an average, not a wage and not a typical household income. Latest: $49,591 in 2025.

Exchange-rate swings move this series even when domestic output is unchanged. See also PPP per capita. From 1960 to 2025 (66 years): latest $49,591 (2025), previous year $49,432 (2024); low $1,902 (1968), high $49,902 (2021).
