Pakistan's Wealth Gap: Only 0.4% Earn Over PKR 3 Lakh Monthly

• Only 400,000 to 1 million people (0.2-0.4% of 250 million population) in Pakistan earn PKR 3 lakh or more monthly.
• PKR 3 lakh monthly income in Pakistan is considered equivalent to INR 1 lakh in India, a good income level.
• The richest 1% in Pakistan hold 24% of the country's total income, while the bottom 50% receive only 15%.
• Average monthly salary in Pakistan is PKR 39,000, making high earners' income almost 8 times higher.
• Income underreporting by large business owners and landlords contributes to the low official numbers of high-income individuals.

Why It Matters: Pakistan faces severe income inequality with very few high earners and widespread underreporting.
