what is the average worldwide income?
Making the world better, one answer at a time. The average world income is about $8,000 per year (per capita). However, less than 1/4 of countries enjoy this amount or more, because the median income is only about $2,000 per year. So although the total world GDP divided by the world population equals $8,000 per year, most people scrape by with a meager $2,000 per year income. The average world income is about $8,000 per year (per capita).
