In most countries, the average worker still earns less than the income researchers associate with peak reported well-being. Research on income and well-being has identified a “satiation point,” an income level beyond which additional earnings no longer improve reported happiness. An analysis from Remitly calculated the price of happiness in economies around the world and compared it with average local wages. This graphic, via Visual Capitalist's Niccolo Conte, ranks the 50 countries where average annual income comes closest to that threshold. Australia has the highest price of happiness in the ranking at $161,300, more than double its average wage of $59,000.
