Brazil’s Per Capita Income in 2023

In 2023, Brazil’s per capita household income reached R$ 1,893 ($378.60). The range spanned from R$ 945 ($189.00) in Maranhão to R$ 3,357 ($671.40) in the Federal District.

This information was released by the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE) on Wednesday, February 28, 2024, including a detailed report.

This includes all residents, pensioners, domestic workers, and their relatives.

This data is from the Continuous National Household Sample Survey (PNAD), aligning with Complementary Law 143/2013 for distribution criteria.

Income per capita rose from R$ 1,625 ($325.00) in 2022 to R$ 1,893 ($378.60) in 2023, marking a 16.5% nominal increase.

Amapá saw a significant increase from R$ 1,177 ($235.40) in 2022 to R$ 1,520 ($304.00) in 2023, a 29.1% growth, yet it remains R$ 373 ($74.60) below the national average.

In addition, Sergipe experienced the smallest growth, from R$ 1,187 ($237.40) to R$ 1,218 ($243.60), an increase of 2.6%.

According to IBGE, three states had less than R$ 1,000 per capita in 2022 (Amazonas, Alagoas, and Maranhão), with only the latter now below this threshold.

However, this overview highlights Brazil’s regional economic disparities, reflecting the diverse economic landscape across the country.
