About this Dataset
Austria's median equivalised net income (the typical per-person disposable income after adjusting household income for household size) reached approximately 36,546 EUR in 2025, according to Eurostat's EU-SILC series (ILC_DI03). That marks a 10.0% increase from 33,210 EUR in 2024, the third consecutive year of double-digit or near-double-digit growth.
For analysts benchmarking purchasing power across European markets, the more useful reference point is Austria's position relative to the EU-27 average. In 2010, Austria's median income of 21,058 EUR was already about 145% of the EU-27's 14,521 EUR. That premium held roughly steady through the 2010s and into 2020, before typically widening in most years since to reach 159.3% in 2025 — its highest point in the series, as Austria's absolute income growth has generally outpaced the EU-27 average.
Growth has not been perfectly linear. Austria's income rose steadily from 21,058 EUR in 2010 to 27,844 EUR in 2022, then accelerated sharply — climbing to 31,443 EUR in 2023 (+12.9%), 33,210 EUR in 2024 (+5.6%), and 36,546 EUR in 2025 (+10.0%). This likely reflects elevated nominal wage growth and inflation-linked indexation of income sources following the 2022 energy-price shock, along with one-off relief payments captured in the EU-SILC survey during that period. Because EU-SILC income figures are denominated in current-year euros and not adjusted for inflation, part of the 2023–2025 gains likely reflects nominal wage growth amid elevated inflation rather than an equivalent rise in real purchasing power.
Coverage and methodology: Eurostat compiles median equivalised net income annually from EU-SILC (Statistics on Income and Living Conditions) microdata, adjusting household disposable income for household size and composition using the modified OECD equivalence scale (first adult = 1, each additional adult 14+ = 0.5, each child under 14 = 0.3). Figures are denominated in current-year euros and are not adjusted for inflation, so cross-year comparisons reflect nominal rather than real purchasing-power changes. The EU-27 aggregate used for comparison is Eurostat's EU27_2020 composition. Austria's national statistical office (Statistik Austria) provides the underlying survey data feeding into this series.
