Average monthly income in Indonesia was close to Rp7 million in 2025

Thekabarnews.com—The economy grew steadily all year long because the average income in Indonesia went up in 2025. Statistics Indonesia (BPS) says that the average income in Indonesia was Rp83.7 million a year, which is about Rp6.97 million a month. In 2024, there should have been Rp78.6 million, but the actual amount is more.

When Indonesia’s GDP grows by 5.11% in 2025, the average income per person goes up. The result is a little lower than the state budget’s (APBN) goal of 5.2%. However, it shows that the economy is slowly getting better even though the world economy is not stable.

BPS interim head Amalia Adininggar Widyasanti said that Indonesia’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) at current prices was Rp6,147.2 trillion in the last three months of 2024. When you factor in inflation, the real economy produced Rp3,474.5 trillion. This quantity is the same thing as GDP at fixed prices.

Indonesia’s GDP at constant prices was Rp13,580.5 trillion for the whole year. At that time, it was Rp23,821 trillion. The growth rate for the fourth quarter was 5.39% year over year, which is a little higher than the average for the whole year.

Economists still think that GDP growth is one of the best ways to tell how healthy a country is. They also assert that estimates of per capita income may not accurately reflect the distribution of income across various areas and sectors. 

Even though the average income goes up, there are still big differences between cities and the country, as well as between the formal and informal industries.

The government believes that steady growth will lead to more jobs, spending, and investment in the future. Keeping inflation low, fixing up the infrastructure, and helping businesses are probably the most important things to do.

As Indonesia moves forward and its economy grows, it will be challenging for its leaders to improve people’s lives. Things are getting better because people are making more money. However, to sustain growth beyond 2026, ensuring inclusivity and fairness will be crucial.
