Andorra in numbers

Andorra has a population of 82,904 (2025) and a GDP of 3.98 billion euros (about 4.5 billion US dollars) in 2025.

Paying everyone 81 euros a month would cost 80.6 million euros a year (about 91.1 million US dollars), or 2% of GDP. That equals 6.8% of its revenue (2024) and 13.0% of its tax revenue (2024).

Children only (under 18: 12,304) would cost 12 million euros a year (0.3% of GDP); adults only (18 and over: 70,600), 68.6 million euros (1.7%).

Default amount: 81 euros a month is the World Bank's international poverty line of $3.00 a day, converted into euros at the exchange rate implied by the World Bank's GDP in local currency and in US dollars (2025), because there is no recent PPP conversion factor, and rounded to two significant figures. It is a reference point, not a policy proposal; change it above.

How to read this

This is the gross cost: the total paid out. The real net cost depends on which taxes fund it, which benefits or tax breaks it replaces and whether the payment is taxed. The population, budget and GDP figures are not all from the same year (see the sources).
