In 2024, Indonesia's upper class had monthly per capita expenditures exceeding Rp9.91 million.

Meanwhile, the expenditures of the poor were less than Rp582,900 per capita per month.

This is evident from data presented by the Acting Head of the Central Statistics Agency (BPS), Amalia Adininggar Widyasanti, in a meeting with Commission XI of the DPR (House of Representatives) on Wednesday, August 28, 2024.

BPS classifies the economic class of the community based on monthly expenditures with the following criteria:

* Upper class: Expenditures exceeding 17 times the poverty line.
* Middle class: Expenditures 3.5 to 17 times the poverty line.
* Near-middle class: Expenditures 1.5 to 3.5 times the poverty line.
* Vulnerable to poverty: Expenditures 1.0 to 1.5 times the poverty line.
* Poor: Expenditures below the poverty line.

Calculated using the March 2024 national poverty line of Rp582,932 per capita per month, the range of expenditure classes for Indonesian society is as follows:

* Upper class: Expenditures exceeding Rp9,909,844 per capita per month.
* Middle class: Expenditures of Rp2,040,262 to Rp9,909,844 per capita per month.
* Near-middle class: Expenditures of Rp874,398 to Rp2,040,262 per capita per month.
* Vulnerable to poverty: Expenditures of Rp582,932 to Rp874,398 per capita per month.
* Poor: Expenditures less than Rp582,932 per capita per month.
