Which countries offer the biggest paychecks? Find out here

Have you ever wondered who earns the most money on average? You think Americans top the charts of those who bring home the most cash but that isn’t the case. Let’s take a look at the data and see where your country fits in. 

A quick note, all of the average annual salaries recorded are from 2022 and have been converted into USD dollars and the information comes from countries that are a part of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD).

All of the data on average annual salaries have also been adjusted for purchasing power parity, which Visual Capitalist noted in its infographic on the data “that the values listed have taken into account the differences in cost of living and inflation between countries.”

Luxembourg has an average annual salary of $78,310, the most of the OECD countries and at the top of the list. But what about the next 29 countries? Let’s take a look and and see if your nation made the list.
