What Are The Top Net Salaries?

Top net salaries worldwide vary greatly but if you make even the average per capita income of American workers ($47,500), you are considered rich by world standards.

Are You Wealthy?

Net salaries like everything else in this world are relative.

To give you some perspective, if everyone in the country earned over a million dollars a year online, million dollar net salaries wouldn’t be regarded very highly.

Conversely, if everyone in the country earned only $10,000 a year, everyone would consider themselves wealthy.

Every once in a while, to keep everything in some perspective, it’s good to see how we compare to the rest of the world salary wise.

The following average per capita incomes for 2010 were obtained from the IMF and as you can see, the average American per capita income ranks well within the top ten worldwide.

• Austria        $ 39,100
• Australia         39,632
• Brunei            47,500
• Hong Kong         45,000
• Luxembourg        80,000
• Netherlands       40,800
• Norway            52,230
• Qatar             88,300
• Singapore         57,230
• Switzerland       41,800

If you were born an American or in any one of the above countries and earned only a mediocre net salary, your standard of living is way above the poverty level and you would be considered wealthy citizens in many world countries.

So what are top net salaries of Americans compared to those of citizens around the world?

2010 FEDERAL INDIVIDUAL INCOME TAX DATA SUMMARY

Top net salaries are based on worldwide statistics and unless your Internet business is focused on international trade where unfair wage practices might be a factor, the wages of the rest of the world never significantly impact net salaries in our country.

The only limits to what top net salaries will be are what an individual puts on them self.
