What is disposable income? It's the amount of money you have left to enjoy from your gross salary, after removing taxes and social security contributions. In other words, it's the amount you have remaining to spend or save as you wish. Who doesn't want to have plenty of money leftover, after the main deductions are taken from pay?
The median amount varies between countries, but World Population Review has analyzed the most recent data available about net income and the median adjusted income (from 2022) to calculate the latest rankings for 2024.
