About this Dataset
Finland's median equivalised net income — the typical per-person disposable income after adjusting household income for household size — reached approximately 29,740 EUR in 2025, according to Eurostat's EU-SILC series (ILC_DI03). That marks a 3.6% increase from 28,693 EUR in 2024, continuing a run of gains that has been comparatively steady across the past decade and a half.
For analysts benchmarking purchasing power across European markets, the more useful reference point is Finland's position relative to the EU-27 average. In 2010, Finland's median income of 21,349 EUR was already about 147.0% of the EU-27's 14,521 EUR. That premium widened through the early-to-mid 2010s to a peak of roughly 157.0% in 2014, before typically narrowing in most years since to reach 129.6% in 2025 — below even its 2010 starting point, even as Finland's absolute income kept climbing over most of the period.
Growth has been fairly consistent by regional standards, without the sharp swings seen in some non-eurozone comparators. From 21,349 EUR in 2010, the series climbed steadily to 23,702 EUR by 2014, held roughly flat through 2015–2017 (23,763 EUR, 23,650 EUR, 23,987 EUR), then resumed a clearer upward path to 24,544 EUR in 2018 and 24,879 EUR in 2019. The pandemic period brought only a mild disruption — 25,490 EUR in 2020 followed by a near-flat 25,456 EUR in 2021 — before renewed momentum pushed the figure to 26,541 EUR in 2022, 27,346 EUR in 2023, 28,693 EUR in 2024, and 29,740 EUR in 2025. Because Finland is a eurozone member, this series is not subject to the exchange-rate conversion effects that can add volatility to EUR-denominated figures for non-euro countries, which likely explains the comparatively smooth trajectory.
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; Statistics Finland provides the underlying survey data feeding into this series.
