Gini coefficient in Russia by year
0,422 2025 +0,012 to 2024
Income concentration index: 0 — everyone receives equally, 1 — all income belongs to one person. Rosstat calculates it based on the monetary income of the population.
Over thirty years, the coefficient has remained within a narrow range — from 0.387 in 1995 to 0.422. The series maximum was first reached in 2007, and in 2025 the value returned to it.
The Gini coefficient does not adequately capture the highest incomes: they are rarely included in surveys.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Gini coefficient in Russia?
The latest value is in the table above. The closer to one, the more unevenly income is distributed.
Is this high or low?
Around 0.4 is a level of noticeable inequality. Scandinavian countries have a coefficient below 0.3.
How does the Gini coefficient differ from the fund coefficient?
The fund coefficient compares only the extreme groups: how many times higher the income of the top 10% is compared to the bottom 10%. The Gini coefficient accounts for the entire distribution.
