List of countries by average wage

The average wage is a measure of total income divided by total number of employees employed. In this article, the average wage is adjusted for living expenses "purchasing power parity" (PPP). This is not to be confused with the average income which is a measure of total income including wage, investment benefit, and other capital gains divided by total number of people in the population including non-working residents. Average wages can differ from median wages; for example, the Social Security Administration estimated that the 2023 average net wage in the United States was $63,932, while the 2023 median net wage was $43,222.
