This article contains lists of Malaysian states and federal territories bymonthly household income, based on the latest survey conducted by Department of Statistics Malaysia in 2022. [1]
As of 31 October 2023 [update] , 1 Malaysian ringgit (symbol: RM, currency code: MYR) was equivalent to 0.21 US dollar [2] or 0.20 Euros. [3] In 2022, Malaysia's mean monthly household income stood at RM8,479 (US$1,781). Median monthly household income in Malaysia within the same year was RM6,338 (US$1,331). [4]
The Department of Statistics Malaysia (DOSM) has been conducting the Household Income Survey (HIS) since 1973, and then twice in every five years. [5] Apart from determining the economic well-being of the population in all Malaysian states through this survey, HIS plays a role in collecting information on income distribution patterns of Malaysian households. [5] DOSM highlights that the collection of household income statistics shows a better economic indicator in determining the country's economic policies, rather than individual wages as majority of Malaysians live as households.
