What is the Compare Yourself to the World?
Enter your age, annual income and average sleep, and this tool estimates your global income percentile using a log-normal distribution model anchored to a commonly cited global mean-income figure (World Bank / global-inequality style data), plus a sleep percentile against a ~7 hours/night average commonly cited by health bodies like the CDC and NIH.
This is a statistical estimate, not live individual-level global data — the method and reference numbers are stated plainly next to the result so the comparison is honest about what it is.

Questions people ask
Is this real, live global data?
No, it's a statistical estimate using a log-normal income model anchored to commonly cited global figures and a cited sleep average — not a live database of individuals.
Why is my income percentile so high on a modest salary?
Global income is heavily right-skewed; a modest salary by a wealthy-country standard is often high by the global mean, which the model reflects.
What sleep average does this use?
About 7 hours/night, a commonly cited average from health bodies such as the CDC and NIH.
Is my income data stored?
No, all calculation happens locally in your browser.
Can I use a currency other than USD?
The model is calibrated in USD; convert your income to USD first for an accurate estimate.
