Indonesia in numbers
Indonesia has a population of 286 million (2025) and a GDP of 23,800 trillion Indonesian rupiahs (about 1.45 trillion US dollars) in 2025.
Paying everyone 460,000 Indonesian rupiahs a month would cost 1,580 trillion Indonesian rupiahs a year (about 95.7 billion US dollars), or 6.6% of GDP. The World Bank has no recent central government expense or tax figures for Indonesia, so only GDP is compared.
Children only (under 18: 83.5 million) would cost 461 trillion Indonesian rupiahs a year (1.9% of GDP); adults only (18 and over: 202 million), 1,120 trillion Indonesian rupiahs (4.7%).
Default amount: 460,000 Indonesian rupiahs a month is the World Bank's international poverty line of $3.00 a day (2021 PPP), converted into Indonesian rupiahs 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).
