    Default How economically well are you doing compared to your countrymen?

    I found this interesting tool to calculate in which income bracket you or your household are currently in.

    It's mostly OECD countries, with some exceptions.

    I thought me and my family belonged to the 50% richest people in Sweden. A middle class family. However, we are apparently in the top 30%.
    For fun, I also did a comparison as if I were living in Brazil. There my household income would be easily in the top 10%.

    Nice tool, but is this really accurate? I'm apparently in the top 30% for Sweden (just me) and my parents back home are in the top 10% for England. Does it have a tendency to overestimate somewhat?

    Its methodology was developed by the OECD, so it is quite accurate, but it will only give you an approximate answer. For example, when I calculated my income compared to that of Brazilians, I was considered to be in the top 10%, but I know I am acually in the top 3% in Brazil (family income). It's accurate, just not specific.

    If you are taking 5 Ukrainian mates, make sure to bring 10 Ukrainian broads as well and mi casa es tu casa!

    Yeah it seems that 10% is as small of a percent as this calculator does

    Well, gotta bring some booze with you, then. Booze price is the only thing that makes you regret living here (except for the weather).
