Income percentiles in Haiti
Where each yearly income band starts in Haiti, in HTG, and what a reading there measures.
Reference data version 2026.4, reference year 2024.
Three cut-offs
- Bottom tenth
- under HTG 140,000 a year
- Top tenth
- from HTG 960,000 a year
- Top hundredth
- from HTG 2,300,000 a year
The middle of the distribution, the 40th to 55th percentile, is HTG 310,000 – HTG 410,000 a year.
Every band
The 11 bands the income question offers in Haiti, verbatim, lowest first.
| Band | Yearly income |

| Below the 10th percentile | under HTG 140,000 |
| 10th to 25th percentile | HTG 140,000 – HTG 230,000 |
| 25th to 40th percentile | HTG 230,000 – HTG 310,000 |
| 40th to 55th percentile | HTG 310,000 – HTG 410,000 |
| 55th to 70th percentile | HTG 410,000 – HTG 550,000 |
| 70th to 80th percentile | HTG 550,000 – HTG 680,000 |
| 80th to 90th percentile | HTG 680,000 – HTG 960,000 |
| 90th to 95th percentile | HTG 960,000 – HTG 1,300,000 |
| 95th to 98th percentile | HTG 1,300,000 – HTG 1,800,000 |
| 98th to 99th percentile | HTG 1,800,000 – HTG 2,300,000 |
| Top 1% | HTG 2,300,000 or more |
Per earner. The source publishes household consumption divided by everyone in the household; the labels multiply it by 2.66, the people one worker's income stands for in Haiti, so a person can place their own income.
In Haiti 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
- 5% of covered years
- Nearest survey
- 12 years from 2024
- Age bands
- none published; the all-ages row answers
- Measured on
- consumption
- Currency
- HTG (HTG)
Why: the nearest measured survey is 12 years from the reference year.
What a reading in Haiti 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 Haiti itself.
- Your ground: both incomes with consumer prices in Haiti taken out, against how the middle of the distribution moved over the same year.
- Nothing is compared across borders. A reading in Haiti is measured against Haiti 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.
