Income percentiles in Fiji
Where each yearly income band starts in Fiji, in FJD, and what a reading there measures.
Reference data version 2026.4, reference year 2024.
Three cut-offs
- Bottom tenth
- under FJ$3,800 a year
- Top tenth
- from FJ$16,000 a year
- Top hundredth
- from FJ$30,000 a year
The middle of the distribution, the 40th to 55th percentile, is FJ$6,600 – FJ$8,000 a year.

Per earner. The source publishes household consumption divided by everyone in the household; the labels multiply it by 2.53, the people one worker's income stands for in Fiji, so a person can place their own income.
In Fiji 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
- 1981 to 2024
- Survey-based years
- 0% of covered years
- Nearest survey
- 5 years from 2024
- Age bands
- none published; the all-ages row answers
- Measured on
- consumption
- Currency
- FJD (FJ$)
Why: only 0% of covered years rest on a survey estimate.
What a reading in Fiji 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 Fiji itself.
- Your ground: both incomes with consumer prices in Fiji taken out, against how the middle of the distribution moved over the same year.
- Nothing is compared across borders. A reading in Fiji is measured against Fiji 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.
