Australia GDP per Person: US$65,130 in 2025
Find Australia’s latest GDP per person, distinguish nominal, PPP and real measures, and prepare a sourced spreadsheet for a public data page.

Australia’s GDP per person was US$65,129.72 in 2025, or about US$65,130, according to the World Bank’s GDP per capita series. This was its latest available annual observation as of 7 October 2026. It is a nominal figure in current US dollars—not Australian dollars and not adjusted for inflation.
For a publishable spreadsheet, start with the five-year table below. Keep the year, currency and measure attached to each value so readers can compare Australia with other countries without mixing incompatible series.
Australia’s GDP per person, 2021–2025

| 2021 | 60,758.90 |
| 2022 | 65,169.52 |

Source: World Bank annual observations for Australia, indicator NY.GDP.PCAP.CD. Values are rounded to two decimal places. The API reports a database update date of 13 July 2026; these figures were checked on 7 October 2026.
The 2025 value is approximately 0.8% above 2024, calculated as (2025 value / 2024 value - 1) × 100 using the unrounded observations. That is a change in nominal US-dollar GDP per person, not a measure of inflation-adjusted Australian output growth.
GDP per person, also called GDP per capita, divides GDP by population. It describes economic output per resident; it is not an average salary, a household’s disposable income or a measure of personal wealth. The World Bank’s indicator definition confirms that this series uses current prices, with no adjustment for price changes over time.
Choose the measure before comparing
Three measures answer different questions:
| Reader question | Measure to use | Australian figure |
|---|---|---|
| What is output per person expressed in US dollars? | Nominal GDP per capita, current US$ | US$65,129.72 in 2025 |
| How does output per person compare after allowing for countries’ price differences? | GDP per capita, PPP, current international dollars | 71,934.4 international dollars in 2025 |
| Is output per person growing after adjusting for inflation? | Real GDP per capita growth | 0.7% through the year to June quarter 2026 |
The PPP value comes from the World Bank’s 2025 Australian observation. Purchasing power parity adjusts for different price levels across countries. An international dollar is a comparison unit, not a US dollar converted at a market exchange rate. Current PPP dollars are still not inflation-adjusted over time, as the World Bank’s PPP definition explains.
The ABS June 2026 national accounts show real GDP per capita unchanged at the published precision from the March quarter and up 0.7% from June 2025. These are seasonally adjusted chain volume measures—the ABS’s inflation-adjusted output series. Total real GDP rose 2.1% over the same year, illustrating why total GDP growth and growth per resident should not be treated as interchangeable.
Keep that quarterly growth series separate from the annual dollar-level table. For more on the distinction, see nominal versus real GDP.
Prepare the spreadsheet for a public page
Use one row per country, year and indicator. A practical structure is:
| Column | Example |
|---|---|

Also retain a source_url column containing the original observation link. Keep full precision in the file and round only the display. Store values as numbers without currency symbols or thousands separators; represent missing observations as blanks with an explanatory note, not zeros.
Before publishing:
- Compare countries using the same indicator and year, rather than each country’s latest available year.
- Label ABS financial-year data explicitly, such as
2025–26; do not silently rename it2025. - If you need an Australian-dollar figure, obtain a sourced AUD series rather than converting this historical value using today’s exchange rate.
- Put the measure, units, coverage and retrieval date in the page description so they remain visible outside the spreadsheet.
Export the clean table as CSV or XLSX. TablePage accepts these formats and publishes a public dataset page with a shareable link and filterable table. Check the published numbers, headers and source notes before sharing. Upload only the public statistical dataset—not private working notes or sensitive information.
