Gross domestic product per capita is often used as a proxy indicator an indicator of a country's standard of living; however, this is inaccurate because GDP per capita is not a measure of personal income and does not take into account social and environmental costs and benefits.
Measures of personal income include average wage, real income, median income, disposable income and gross national income (GNI) per capita.

The median salary is the middle income in a dataset, where half earn more and half earn less, providing a better sense of typical earnings than the average (mean) due to high earners skewing averages. Specific median salaries vary significantly by country, region, industry, and job role, but recent data shows Hong Kong's median monthly wage around HK$20,500 (as of mid-2024) and U.S. data indicates varying figures depending on source, with full-time averages often cited around $80k+.
