How to Read This Country Page

Three boundaries keep wage and price comparisons from being misread.

Wage basis
The annual wage is expressed in USD PPP at constant 2025 prices. It is an average, not a median wage, local-currency amount, or take-home figure.
Years stay separate
The latest wage year and the price year do not have to match. Price controls read only 2022, 2023, or 2024 and never substitute another year.
Price benchmark
100 represents the United States price level. A value of 120 is reported here as 20 index points above that benchmark.

Data Coverage and Limits

Temporal consistency differs markedly between wage and price datasets for Türkiye. Users should verify year-specific availability before attempting cross-indicator analysis.
