Angola in numbers
Angola has a population of 39 million (2025) and a GDP of 129 trillion Angolan kwanzas (about 122 billion US dollars) in 2025.
Paying everyone 33,000 Angolan kwanzas a month would cost 15.5 trillion Angolan kwanzas a year (about 14.6 billion US dollars), or 12.0% of GDP. That equals 65.6% of its revenue (2024) and 158% of its tax revenue (2024).
Children only (under 18: 19.8 million) would cost 7.85 trillion Angolan kwanzas a year (6.1% of GDP); adults only (18 and over: 19.2 million), 7.61 trillion Angolan kwanzas (5.9%).
Default amount: 33,000 Angolan kwanzas a month is the World Bank's international poverty line of $3.00 a day (2021 PPP), converted into Angolan kwanzas with the World Bank's PPP conversion factor for household consumption (2025) 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).
