The **average income in Afghanistan** depends on how you measure it, but the most common “income-level” indicator used internationally is **GDP per capita** (rough estimate of average income per person).

### 🇦🇫 Afghanistan average income (latest estimates)

- **About $400-450 USD per year per person** (nominal GDP per capita, recent years 2023-2025) ([Statista](https://www.statista.com/statistics/262052/gross-domestic-product-gdp-per-capita-in-afghanistan/?utm_source=chatgpt.com), [Trading Economics](https://tradingeconomics.com/afghanistan/gdp-per-capita-us-dollar-wb-data.html?utm_source=chatgpt.com))
- Roughly **$35-40 USD per month per person**

### 💰 Average salary (for working people)

- Around **$470-500 USD per month (gross average salary estimates vary)** ([wage.is](https://wage.is/afghanistan/?utm_source=chatgpt.com))
- Annual average wage roughly **$5,000-6,000 USD equivalent (in local currency conversions)**

### 🧠 Important context

- GDP per capita is **very low because many people are unemployed or in informal/low-income work**
- Income is **uneven** (urban workers may earn far more than rural households)
- Afghanistan is considered **one of the lowest-income countries in the world**

If you want, I can compare it with **Pakistan, India, or Estonia** so you can see the difference more clearly.
