Guinea in numbers
Guinea has a population of 15.1 million (2025) and a GDP of 245 trillion Guinean francs (about 28.3 billion US dollars) in 2025.
Paying everyone 330,000 Guinean francs a month would cost 59.8 trillion Guinean francs a year (about 6.92 billion US dollars), or 24.4% of GDP. The World Bank has no recent central government expense or tax figures for Guinea, so only GDP is compared.
Children only (under 18: 7.14 million) would cost 28.3 trillion Guinean francs a year (11.5% of GDP); adults only (18 and over: 7.96 million), 31.5 trillion Guinean francs (12.9%).
Default amount: 330,000 Guinean francs a month is the World Bank's international poverty line of $3.00 a day (2021 PPP), converted into Guinean francs 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).
