The bar shows your income against each region's median household income (the notch marks the median, the right edge is twice it). No per-region percentiles are claimed because regional decile data is not published.

Frequently asked questions
Using per-capita household income (INDEC EPH Q4 2025, annualised), ARS 15,000,000 per person per year puts you in the top 10% in Argentina. The 95th and 99th percentile thresholds are not published in the official decile table — but the average within the top decile is ARS 24,671,904 per year, so the upper end extends well beyond the 90th percentile. Due to high inflation, these ARS thresholds reflect Q4 2025 purchasing power.
The median per-capita household income in Argentina is ARS 5,400,000 per year (INDEC EPH Q4 2025, annualised) — that is, ARS 450,000 per person per month. The mean is ARS 7,631,952 per year (ARS 635,996/month), about 41% higher because top earners pull the average up. These figures cover the urban population (31 aglomerados urbanos).
Argentina has experienced very high inflation in recent years. Large nominal ARS amounts reflect the devaluation of the peso, not unusually high real purchasing power. The cost of living in Argentina is about 28% of the US level, so the practical standard of living of a typical Argentine household is far lower than the nominal ARS figures alone might suggest.
Adjusting for purchasing power parity, Argentina's median income places it in the middle range for Latin America — above Mexico but below Chile. Compare on a per-capita household basis: Argentina ARS 5.4M/year ≈ USD 5,400 at current rates.
It is the household's total income from all sources (wages, pensions, social transfers, capital income, etc.) divided by the number of household members. INDEC publishes this monthly per-capita figure for the urban population by decile each quarter. We multiply the Q4 2025 monthly thresholds by 12 to get annual values.
