What Stands Out
01
Latest Wage Gap
Türkiye's latest average wage is $57,275 for 2024, effectively level with Israel's $57,426 for 2025 — the relative difference, calculated from the two reported values, rounds to under half a percent. In annual terms the gap comes to about $151 on the same PPP basis. The two figures come from different reference years.
02
Stronger Recent Trend
On the latest one-year change, Türkiye shows the stronger movement at +19.0%, against +0.5% for Israel. The five-year horizon keeps the same ordering: +61.0% against +5.8%. Both percentages are real, PPP-adjusted changes from the reported wage series.
03
Largest Price Gap
Housing shows the widest price gap of the comparable categories in 2024: 16.8 for Türkiye against 93.9 for Israel. Measured on the US=100 scale, the two readings for this category are 77.1 index points apart, Israel above Türkiye. The gap is stated in index points, which are not interchangeable with percentages.
04
Closest Price Category
The closest category is Transport: Türkiye reads 79.9 and Israel 109 for 2024, just 29.1 index points apart on the US=100 scale. The next closest is Clothing at 42.5 index points apart. A gap this small leaves the category effectively tied on the shared US=100 scale.
Understanding the Comparison
Wage Position
Türkiye and Israel report nearly the same PPP-adjusted average annual wage: $57,426 for 2025, against $57,275 for 2024. The difference is 0.3% in relative terms — a percentage calculated from the two reported values — or roughly $151 a year, which is small next to either figure. Because both values already sit on the same USD PPP, constant-2025-price footing, the comparison adjusts for price-level differences between the two economies. The reference years differ — 2024 for Türkiye and 2025 for Israel — so part of the gap reflects timing rather than level, and the two records are kept separate. Over ten years Türkiye recorded +96.2% and Israel +19.8%, so the two series have been moving in the same long-term direction.
Wage Direction
Both wage series rise over the five-year horizon, though not at the same pace. Türkiye sits at the highest point of its series — $57,275 in 2024 is also the historical peak, with a ten-year change of +96.2%. Israel sits at the highest point of its series — $57,426 in 2025 is also the historical peak, with a ten-year change of +19.8%. Türkiye's five-year change of +61.0% outpaces Israel's +5.8% in magnitude, so the common direction does not mean the two levels are holding a fixed distance. Each percentage is a real, PPP-adjusted change; nominal pay movements are outside what this dataset reports.
Price Profile
Türkiye's overall consumer price level for 2024 reads 32, and Israel's reads 93.1, each measured against the United States reference of 100. One side of this pairing dominates the price profile: Israel sits higher in 8 of the 8 comparable categories. Housing separates the two most: Türkiye reads 16.8 and Israel 93.9, 77.1 index points apart. The two sit closest in Transport (79.9 versus 109), only 29.1 index points apart. Counted against the US reference of 100, 0 of Türkiye's 8 reported categories sit above the line, against 4 of Israel's 8. These are index values for 2024, not currency amounts; categories without a reported value on either side are left out of the comparison.
Wage and price data should not be combined into a verdict on which country is better to live in.
