Income percentiles in Kyrgyzstan
Where each yearly income band starts in Kyrgyzstan, in KGS, and what a reading there measures.
Reference data version 2026.4, reference year 2024.
Three cut-offs
- Bottom tenth
- under KGS 120,000 a year
- Top tenth
- from KGS 410,000 a year
- Top hundredth
- from KGS 770,000 a year
The middle of the distribution, the 40th to 55th percentile, is KGS 190,000 – KGS 230,000 a year.
Every band
The 11 bands the income question offers in Kyrgyzstan, verbatim, lowest first.
| Band | Yearly income |
|---|---|
| Below the 10th percentile | under KGS 120,000 |
| 10th to 25th percentile | KGS 120,000 – KGS 160,000 |
| 25th to 40th percentile | KGS 160,000 – KGS 190,000 |
| 40th to 55th percentile | KGS 190,000 – KGS 230,000 |
| 55th to 70th percentile | KGS 230,000 – KGS 280,000 |
| 70th to 80th percentile | KGS 280,000 – KGS 330,000 |
| 80th to 90th percentile | KGS 330,000 – KGS 410,000 |
| 90th to 95th percentile | KGS 410,000 – KGS 500,000 |
| 95th to 98th percentile | KGS 500,000 – KGS 640,000 |
| 98th to 99th percentile | KGS 640,000 – KGS 770,000 |
| Top 1% | KGS 770,000 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 Kyrgyzstan, so a person can place their own income.
In Kyrgyzstan 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
- 1995 to 2024
- Survey-based years
- 87% of covered years
- Nearest survey
- in 2024 itself
- Age bands
- none published; the all-ages row answers
- Measured on
- consumption
- Currency
- KGS (KGS)
Why: the span is short of the longest horizon; no age breakdown is published for it.
What a reading in Kyrgyzstan 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 Kyrgyzstan itself.
- Your ground: both incomes with consumer prices in Kyrgyzstan taken out, against how the middle of the distribution moved over the same year.
- Nothing is compared across borders. A reading in Kyrgyzstan is measured against Kyrgyzstan 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.
