That gives you the answer-the world's average salary is $1,480 (Â£928) a month, which is just less than $18,000 (Â£11,291) a year. But these dollars are not normal US dollars.

The median income worldwide â the amount that is dead middle between the least and the highest amounts â is $850 US Dollars (USD). People who have incomes of $41,000 USD are in the top 3% in terms of the richest people in the world. If the trillion dollar worldwide economy were evenly split up between Earth's 6.7 billion people, the average income would be $7,000 USD.
