Income percentiles in Mongolia
Where each yearly income band starts in Mongolia, in MNT, and what a reading there measures.
Reference data version 2026.4, reference year 2024.
Three cut-offs
- Bottom tenth
- under MNT 8,400,000 a year
- Top tenth
- from MNT 34,600,000 a year
- Top hundredth
- from MNT 69,000,000 a year
The middle of the distribution, the 40th to 55th percentile, is MNT 14,500,000 – MNT 18,000,000 a year.
Every band
The 11 bands the income question offers in Mongolia, verbatim, lowest first.

| 10th to 25th percentile | MNT 8,400,000 – MNT 11,700,000 |
| 25th to 40th percentile | MNT 11,700,000 – MNT 14,500,000 |
| 40th to 55th percentile | MNT 14,500,000 – MNT 18,000,000 |
| 55th to 70th percentile | MNT 18,000,000 – MNT 22,300,000 |
| 70th to 80th percentile | MNT 22,300,000 – MNT 26,700,000 |
| 80th to 90th percentile | MNT 26,700,000 – MNT 34,600,000 |
| 90th to 95th percentile | MNT 34,600,000 – MNT 43,500,000 |
| 95th to 98th percentile | MNT 43,500,000 – MNT 56,500,000 |
| 98th to 99th percentile | MNT 56,500,000 – MNT 69,000,000 |
| Top 1% | MNT 69,000,000 or more |
Per earner. The source publishes household consumption divided by everyone in the household; the labels multiply it by 2.58, the people one worker's income stands for in Mongolia, so a person can place their own income.
In Mongolia 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
- 1992 to 2024
- Survey-based years
- 27% of covered years
- Nearest survey
- 2 years from 2024
- Age bands
- none published; the all-ages row answers
- Measured on
- consumption
- Currency
- MNT (MNT)
Why: the span is short of the longest horizon; no age breakdown is published for it; 27% of covered years rest on a survey.
What a reading in Mongolia 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 Mongolia itself.
- Your ground: both incomes with consumer prices in Mongolia taken out, against how the middle of the distribution moved over the same year.
- Nothing is compared across borders. A reading in Mongolia is measured against Mongolia 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.
