Per earner. The source publishes household consumption divided by everyone in the household; the labels multiply it by 3.50, the people one worker's income stands for in Lebanon, so a person can place their own income.
In Lebanon the distribution is measured on consumption, not income. The two are not interchangeable, and the multiplier does not turn one into the other.

- Years covered
- 2008 to 2024
- Survey-based years
- 0% of covered years
- Nearest survey
- 2 years from 2024
- Age bands
- none published; the all-ages row answers
- Measured on
- consumption
- Currency
- LBP (LBP)
Why: only 0% of covered years rest on a survey estimate.
What a reading in Lebanon 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 Lebanon itself.
- Your ground: both incomes with consumer prices in Lebanon taken out, against how the middle of the distribution moved over the same year.
- Nothing is compared across borders. A reading in Lebanon is measured against Lebanon 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.
