Income per Person (GDP per capita, PPP) in Togo: 1800 to Today (and Tomorrow)

At MYRIAD, we examine the statistics of human lives to understand the material reality of existence. For Togo, income per person (gdp per capita, ppp) is more than a metric; it is a measure of the concrete resources available for food, shelter, and security across generations. These figures describe the economic boundaries within which people build their futures, defining the limits of daily survival and the financial latitude available to secure a stable life. Every value recorded here represents a statistical fact about the lives actually lived.

The historical arc of this data moves steadily upward through successive eras. In the 1800s estimate it stood at 600 intl-$, rising slowly into the 1890s estimate of 780 intl-$ and reaching 800 intl-$ in 1900. Growth continued through the mid-century, registering 1,500 intl-$ in the 1950s and climbing to 2,600 intl-$ in the 1980s. Following a brief dip in the 1990s and 2000s, the figure advanced to 3,150 intl-$ in the 2010s before arriving at the current decade.

In the 2020s, income per person (gdp per capita, ppp) in Togo stands at 3,800 intl-$ — ranking #153 of 157 countries. For you navigating life here, this indicates a landscape of limited resources compared to the global average. However, the trajectory points toward a different future, with projections extending toward 4,370 intl-$ in the 2030s projection and eventually reaching 11,624 intl-$ in the 2100s projection. These numbers trace the evolving possibilities of human existence in Togo.
