Price level
How far does a dollar stretch there compared with the US?
What a dollar’s worth of goods costs there, with the United States at 1.00 — the World Bank PPP conversion factor divided by the official exchange rate, both for the same year. 0.31 means roughly a third of US prices.
Nigeria leads with 13 % of US prices; Iran sits last at 225 % of US prices. Best-for-you first — lower is better here.
Coverage: 125 of ~113 countries this field can reach — World Bank PPP factor ÷ official exchange rate; 113 of 128 carry both legs in a shared year

Unweighted mean of the published values in each region — our aggregation, not an official statistic.
How to read this figure
Our own calculation from two World Bank figures for the SAME year: the PPP conversion factor divided by the official exchange rate. It answers "is this country expensive?" in the only way that survives a currency swing — 1.00 is the United States, 0.31 means a dollar's worth of goods costs about 31 cents there, and 1.12 means it costs 12 % more. The raw PPP factor is deliberately not shown on its own: it is quoted in local currency per international dollar, so Vietnam reads 147938 and the US reads 1.00, and neither end of that is "better". Note this is a whole-economy average built from GDP, so it covers everything a country produces, not a traveller's basket — rent and restaurant prices can sit well above or below it.

How to read this list
What a dollar’s worth of goods costs there, with the United States at 1.00 — the World Bank PPP conversion factor divided by the official exchange rate, both for the same year. 0.31 means roughly a third of US prices. 125 countries publish it; the rest are absent from the list rather than shown as zero. The figures were observed between 2020 and 2025 — a spread of 60 months — so this compares each country’s latest published number, not one moment in time. Every row carries its own date in the CSV and JSON; use it. Nothing here is estimated or carried forward to fill a gap. This metric is one column of the full dataset.
