Saudi Arabia GDP per Capita: 2025 Figures and a Publishable Table

The World Bank reports Saudi Arabia’s GDP per capita at $34,536.7 for 2025, measured in current US dollars. Its purchasing-power-parity (PPP) figure is 73,783.6 current international dollars per person. These are different measures, not competing estimates of the same dollar amount. Sources: nominal data and PPP data.

For a public spreadsheet, keep both series clearly labeled and preserve their source dates. The table below gives you a five-year starting point.

Saudi Arabia GDP per capita, 2021–2025

Source: World Bank nominal series and PPP series, retrieved 10 October 2026. Both responses report a database update of 8 October 2026. The nominal series without a year restriction confirms 2025 as the latest available year. Values are rounded to one decimal place for display.

The nominal series falls after 2022, while the PPP series rises in 2024 and 2025. Do not interpret either pattern automatically as a change in inflation-adjusted output per person: both columns use current prices.

Choose the measure before drawing a conclusion

GDP per capita divides an economy’s GDP by its general population. It is an average measure of economic output per person—not the average salary, household disposable income or wealth of a Saudi resident. The denominator is the general population, not just employed people or Saudi citizens. World Bank indicator definition.

Use the measures according to the question:

• Current US dollars: use for comparisons of nominal output per person expressed in dollars. This series does not adjust for price changes over time.
• PPP, current international dollars: use for cross-country comparisons that account for differences in price levels. International dollars are a purchasing-power comparison unit, not US-dollar cash income.
• Constant-price GDP per capita: use a separate inflation-adjusted series when the question is how real output per person changes over time.

The World Bank explains that PPP conversion equalizes purchasing power across countries, but its current-price PPP series still does not remove price changes over time. PPP methodology. For a fuller explanation of the time-series distinction, see nominal versus real GDP.

Prepare the spreadsheet for a public page

For a Saudi-only historical table, use one row per year and separate numeric columns named gdp_per_capita_current_usd and gdp_per_capita_ppp_current_intl_dollars. Include country, iso3 (SAU) and year so the file can later be combined with other countries.

Keep the underlying values numeric—without dollar signs or thousands separators in CSV cells—and retain source precision. Apply rounding only to the displayed table.

Document these details alongside the dataset:

• Provider: World Bank, World Development Indicators.
• Indicator codes: NY.GDP.PCAP.CD and NY.GDP.PCAP.PP.CD.
• Source links: the two series linked above.
• Retrieval date: 2026-10-10.
• Database update: 2026-10-08.
• Units and coverage: current US dollars and current international dollars; Saudi Arabia, 2021–2025.

If you add IMF forecasts, keep the provider, release and forecast status explicit rather than silently appending them to the World Bank series. For country comparisons, match the year and indicator before sorting or ranking.

Once the file is clean, TablePage accepts CSV, TSV, XLSX and XLS uploads and creates a public dataset page with a shareable link and filterable table. Use only data suitable for public release. Check the published headers, year order and numeric values, and keep the source links and unit definitions visible so readers can interpret the table without opening a spreadsheet application.
