Income percentiles in Morocco
Where each yearly income band starts in Morocco, in MAD, and what a reading there measures.
Reference data version 2026.4, reference year 2024.
Three cut-offs
- Bottom tenth
- under MAD 26,000 a year
- Top tenth
- from MAD 130,000 a year
- Top hundredth
- from MAD 360,000 a year
The middle of the distribution, the 40th to 55th percentile, is MAD 46,000 – MAD 58,000 a year.

Per earner. The source publishes household consumption divided by everyone in the household; the labels multiply it by 3.35, the people one worker's income stands for in Morocco, so a person can place their own income.
In Morocco 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
- 11 years from 2024
- Age bands
- none published; the all-ages row answers
- Measured on
- consumption
- Currency
- MAD (MAD)
Why: the nearest measured survey is 11 years from the reference year.
What a reading in Morocco 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 Morocco itself.
- Your ground: both incomes with consumer prices in Morocco taken out, against how the middle of the distribution moved over the same year.
- Nothing is compared across borders. A reading in Morocco is measured against Morocco 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.
