Australia GNI per Capita
GNI divided by midyear population NY.GNP.PCAP.CD
Australia's gni per capita was $66,732 in 2025, ranked 15th globally. This represents a 6.5% increase from 2024. Data from World Bank, covering 1962–2025.
Overview
Australia's gni per capita stood at $66,732 in 2025, a rise of +$4,052 from 2024. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach $66,732 by 2025. Australia ranked 15th globally.
Australia’s gross national income per capita rose from a low of 1,880.00 in 1962 to an all‑time peak of 66,732.00 in 2025, placing the country 15th globally and ranking it alongside peers such as the Netherlands (67,161.00) and Sweden (61,266.00). Over the 64‑year span, the indicator grew at an average annual rate of roughly 4.6 percent, reflecting sustained productivity gains, a diversified export base and high levels of tertiary education. The sharp post‑1970s expansion coincided with the liberalisation of trade and financial markets, while the 1990s mining boom amplified export earnings and reinforced per‑capita income growth. Despite occasional slowdowns during global recessions, the upward trajectory remained unbroken, underscoring the resilience of Australia’s service‑oriented economy and its capacity to attract skilled migrants. Future shifts in commodity prices, climate policy and digital transformation will likely shape whether the GNI per capita continues its long‑term ascent or encounters new headwinds.
