Income percentiles in Albania
Where each yearly income band starts in Albania, in ALL, and what a reading there measures.
Reference data version 2026.4, reference year 2024.
Three cut-offs
- Bottom tenth
- under ALL 340,000 a year
- Top tenth
- from ALL 1,300,000 a year
- Top hundredth
- from ALL 2,300,000 a year
The middle of the distribution, the 40th to 55th percentile, is ALL 590,000 – ALL 720,000 a year.

Per earner. The source publishes household consumption divided by everyone in the household; the labels multiply it by 2.10, the people one worker's income stands for in Albania, so a person can place their own income.
In Albania the distribution is measured on consumption, not income. The two are not interchangeable, and the multiplier does not turn one into the other.
What the data rests on
- Confidence
- Medium
- Years covered
- 1991 to 2024
- Survey-based years
- 35% of covered years
- Nearest survey
- 4 years from 2024
- Age bands
- none published; the all-ages row answers
- Measured on
- consumption
- Currency
- ALL (ALL)
Why: the span is short of the longest horizon; no age breakdown is published for it; 35% of covered years rest on a survey; the nearest survey is 4 years from the reference year.
What a reading in Albania measures
- Your place: which of the bands above your income is in now, against the band it was in a year ago, read as a position in the income distribution of Albania itself.
- Your ground: both incomes with consumer prices in Albania taken out, against how the middle of the distribution moved over the same year.
- Nothing is compared across borders. A reading in Albania is measured against Albania alone.
A band is a range, so a move inside one band does not register, and published distributions understate the very top. The confidence level above travels onto every card measured here.
