United Kingdom GNI per Capita
GNI divided by midyear population NY.GNP.PCAP.CD
United Kingdom's gni per capita was $53,612 in 2025, ranked 25th globally. This represents a 8.4% increase from 2024. Data from World Bank, covering 1962–2025.
Overview
United Kingdom's gni per capita stood at $53,612 in 2025, a rise of +$4,142 from 2024. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach $53,612 by 2025. United Kingdom ranked 25th globally.
The United Kingdom’s gross national income per capita rose from US$1,720.00 in 1962, the lowest point in the 64‑year series, to US$53,612.00 in 2025, marking both the most recent value and the all‑time peak. This increase reflects sustained post‑war growth, the expansion of high‑value services, and periodic productivity gains, while the early 1960s trough coincided with a period of deindustrialisation and balance‑of‑payments pressures. In 2025 the United Kingdom ranked 25th globally, closely trailing Finland’s US$53,506.00 and just ahead of New Zealand’s US$51,086.00, yet remaining below the United Arab Emirates’ US$55,341.00 and Austria’s US$58,071.00, underscoring the country’s position among advanced economies with strong but modest per‑capita income. Continued advances in technology adoption, labour market reforms and trade diversification are likely to shape whether the upward trajectory can be maintained or if slower growth in major sectors will temper future GNI per‑capita gains.
