That gives you the answer-the world's average salary is $1,480 (Â£928) a month, which is just less than $18,000 (Â£11,291) a year. But these dollars are not normal US dollars. The economists use specially adjusted exchange rates-the average salary is calculated in Purchasing Power Parity (PPP) dollars.
The average net salary as of May 2013 was estimated at $46,440 per year. That translates to an average hourly pay of $22.33. The median wage was lower at $16.87, since there are more people in the U.S. population with positions that pay below the average salary. The average salary increased 0.1 percent in 2013, up from $42,498 in 2012. The median salary in 2012 was $27,519.
