Spain’s average income per capita has increased every year since 2014, when the Sovereign Debt Crisis caused a recession. In 2023, the figure amounted to 14,008 euros after taxes, up from 13,008 the previous year. Though this is the highest level to date, the increase is only slightly faster than inflation.
Age and regional differences
The net income per person broken down into age groups shows that young workers, aged between 16 and 29, earn almost 1,300 euros less annually than the national average and more than three thousand euros bellow the average income of workers above 65. This is to be expected, as workers gain experience and expertise as they age. However, regional differences are more remarkable. In the autonomous community with the highest average annual net income, the Basque Country, that figure exceeded 18,189 euros in 2023, while Murcia, which ranked as the region with the lowest average income, registered an average of approximately 11,314 euros per that year.
Disposable income
The income which remains once taxes and social security charges are deduced is known as disposable income. As of 2023, household savings as share of total disposable income in Spain stood at 7.3 percent. However, savings in relation to disposable income are is expected to diminish in the following years. During the last decade, and particularly throughout the Spanish Sovereign Debt Crisis, the country’s households suffered from high rates of indebtedness in relation to gross disposable income. At the peak in 2013, the indebtedness ratio, the ratio of debt to annual income, exceeded 130 percent. The ratio has since decreased and stood at 93.96 percent in the third quarter of 2022.
