37.1 million people × 330,000 Uzbekistani som a month × 12 months
Compared with
- Government expense (central) (2023)35.5%
- Government revenue (central, excl. grants) (2023)41.0%
- Tax revenue (central government) (2023)72.1%
- GDP (nominal) (2025)7.9%
Uzbekistan in numbers
Uzbekistan has a population of 37.1 million (2025) and a GDP of 1,850 trillion Uzbekistani som (about 147 billion US dollars) in 2025.
Paying everyone 330,000 Uzbekistani som a month would cost 147 trillion Uzbekistani som a year (about 11.7 billion US dollars), or 7.9% of GDP. That equals 35.5% of central government expense (2023), 41.0% of its revenue (2023), and 72.1% of its tax revenue (2023).
Children only (under 18: 13.4 million) would cost 53.1 trillion Uzbekistani som a year (2.9% of GDP); adults only (18 and over: 23.6 million), 93.6 trillion Uzbekistani som (5.1%).
Default amount: 330,000 Uzbekistani som a month is the World Bank's international poverty line of $3.00 a day (2021 PPP), converted into Uzbekistani som 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).
