The gross domestic product (GDP) per capita in South Korea amounted to 36,230 U.S. dollars in 2025. Between 1980 and 2025, the GDP per capita rose by 34,490 U.S. dollars, though the increase followed an uneven trajectory rather than a consistent upward trend. The GDP per capita will steadily rise by 9,790 U.S. dollars over the period from 2025 to 2031, reflecting a clear upward trend.

This indicator describes the gross domestic product per capita at current prices. Thereby, the gross domestic product was first converted from national currency to U.S. dollars at current exchange rates and then divided by the total population. The gross domestic product is a measure of a country's productivity. It refers to the total value of goods and service produced during a given time period (here a year).
