Reference data version 2026.4, reference year 2024.
Three cut-offs
- Bottom tenth
- under Rs 33,000 a year
- Top tenth
- from Rs 150,000 a year
- Top hundredth
- from Rs 280,000 a year
The middle of the distribution, the 40th to 55th percentile, is Rs 65,000 – Rs 84,000 a year.

Per person in the household, as the source publishes it: one of the two series needed to turn it into a per-earner figure is not published for Seychelles, so the question says so.

What a reading in Seychelles 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 Seychelles itself.
- Your ground: both incomes with consumer prices in Seychelles taken out, against how the middle of the distribution moved over the same year.
- Nothing is compared across borders. A reading in Seychelles is measured against Seychelles 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.
