Income percentiles in Azerbaijan
Where each yearly income band starts in Azerbaijan, in AZN, and what a reading there measures.
Reference data version 2026.4, reference year 2024.
Three cut-offs
- Bottom tenth
- under AZN 5,200 a year
- Top tenth
- from AZN 15,000 a year
- Top hundredth
- from AZN 32,000 a year
The middle of the distribution, the 40th to 55th percentile, is AZN 7,200 – AZN 8,200 a year.
Every band
The 11 bands the income question offers in Azerbaijan, verbatim, lowest first.
| Band | Yearly income |
|---|---|
| Below the 10th percentile | under AZN 5,200 |
| 10th to 25th percentile | AZN 5,200 – AZN 6,200 |
| 25th to 40th percentile | AZN 6,200 – AZN 7,200 |
| 40th to 55th percentile | AZN 7,200 – AZN 8,200 |
| 55th to 70th percentile | AZN 8,200 – AZN 9,700 |
| 70th to 80th percentile | AZN 9,700 – AZN 11,000 |
| 80th to 90th percentile | AZN 11,000 – AZN 15,000 |
| 90th to 95th percentile | AZN 15,000 – AZN 19,000 |
| 95th to 98th percentile | AZN 19,000 – AZN 26,000 |
| 98th to 99th percentile | AZN 26,000 – AZN 32,000 |
| Top 1% | AZN 32,000 or more |
Per earner. The source publishes household consumption divided by everyone in the household; the labels multiply it by 2.12, the people one worker's income stands for in Azerbaijan, so a person can place their own income.
In Azerbaijan 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
- Low
- Years covered
- 1991 to 2024
- Survey-based years
- 18% of covered years
- Nearest survey
- 19 years from 2024
- Age bands
- none published; the all-ages row answers
- Measured on
- consumption
- Currency
- AZN (AZN)
Why: part of the price index had to be bridged rather than read from the national series.
Before 1994 the series is quoted in the prices of the currency introduced that year; real change across the switch is exact.
What a reading in Azerbaijan 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 Azerbaijan itself.
- Your ground: both incomes with consumer prices in Azerbaijan taken out, against how the middle of the distribution moved over the same year.
- Nothing is compared across borders. A reading in Azerbaijan is measured against Azerbaijan 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.
