Romanians have on average 11,283 euros per year to spend or save, well below the European average
Published
A Romanian has on average, in 2026, 11,283 euros per year that they can spend or save. This amount represents disposable income, that is, the money that remains after paying basic obligations. According to data published by HotNews.ro, in the same period a European has on average 21,153 euros per year, almost double that of a Romanian.
The differences between regions are also large. The source article shows that in Bucharest, one month of disposable income is equivalent to four months of income in Giurgiu County. In other words, residents of the capital can save or spend much more in the same amount of time. The information shows how unequal the standard of living is in Romania, even though the national average is a general figure.
These figures are important for those who want to better understand purchasing power in our country. The comparison with the European average shows that Romanians still have less money available per year than most citizens of the European Union. The differences between cities and counties show that a family's financial situation depends greatly on where it lives.
In conclusion, the data shows a clear difference between disposable incomes in Romania and the European average, but also between the regions of the country. Complete information about the calculation methodology and about each county can be consulted in the original article published by HotNews.ro.
