How Does the Broke Calculator Work?
Our global income calculator compares your yearly income to the rest of the world's population using data from the World Bank, Credit Suisse Global Wealth Report, and other reliable sources. The calculator shows you where you stand in the global wealth distribution.
Understanding Your Results
When you see "You're richer than X% of the world," this means that your income is higher than that percentage of the global population. For example:
- ✓ 90th percentile: You earn more than 90% of people worldwide
- ✓ 50th percentile: You're right in the middle - half earn more, half earn less
- ✓ 10th percentile: 90% of the world earns more than you
