Income percentiles in Tajikistan
Where each yearly income band starts in Tajikistan, in TJS, and what a reading there measures.
Reference data version 2026.4, reference year 2024.
Three cut-offs
- Bottom tenth
- under TJS 20,000 a year
- Top tenth
- from TJS 98,000 a year
- Top hundredth
- from TJS 210,000 a year
The middle of the distribution, the 40th to 55th percentile, is TJS 38,000 – TJS 49,000 a year.
Every band
The 11 bands the income question offers in Tajikistan, verbatim, lowest first.
| Band | Yearly income |

| 10th to 25th percentile | TJS 20,000 – TJS 30,000 |
| 25th to 40th percentile | TJS 30,000 – TJS 38,000 |
| 40th to 55th percentile | TJS 38,000 – TJS 49,000 |
| 55th to 70th percentile | TJS 49,000 – TJS 62,000 |
| 70th to 80th percentile | TJS 62,000 – TJS 75,000 |
| 80th to 90th percentile | TJS 75,000 – TJS 98,000 |
| 90th to 95th percentile | TJS 98,000 – TJS 130,000 |
| 95th to 98th percentile | TJS 130,000 – TJS 170,000 |
| 98th to 99th percentile | TJS 170,000 – TJS 210,000 |
| Top 1% | TJS 210,000 or more |
Per earner. The source publishes household consumption divided by everyone in the household; the labels multiply it by 4.40, the people one worker's income stands for in Tajikistan, so a person can place their own income.
In Tajikistan 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
- 2000 to 2024
- Survey-based years
- 36% of covered years
- Nearest survey
- in 2024 itself
- Age bands
- none published; the all-ages row answers
- Measured on
- consumption
- Currency
- TJS (TJS)
Why: the span is short of the longest horizon; no age breakdown is published for it; 36% of covered years rest on a survey.
What a reading in Tajikistan 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 Tajikistan itself.
- Your ground: both incomes with consumer prices in Tajikistan taken out, against how the middle of the distribution moved over the same year.
- Nothing is compared across borders. A reading in Tajikistan is measured against Tajikistan 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.
