A collaborative survey report by the Indonesian Ministry of Communication and Informatics (Kominfo) and the Katadata Insight Center (KIC), titled *Digital Literacy Status in Indonesia 2022*, reveals the average monthly internet expenditure of Indonesian citizens.
The results show that in 2022, the average respondent spent Rp50,000-100,000 per month on internet data packages. This accounted for 54.4% of respondents.
Expenditure of Rp50,000-100,000 per month has consistently dominated since 2020, although a downward trend is observed yearly.
“As in previous years, the majority of respondents allocated Rp50,000-100,000 per month for internet access, despite a decrease of around 3.9%,” stated the Kominfo and KIC team.
Furthermore, 21.7% of respondents allocated Rp100,000-300,000 per month in 2022. This proportion has steadily increased since 2020.
Next, 20.7% of respondents allocated less than Rp50,000 per month in 2022. This proportion increased from 2021 but decreased from 2020.
Respondents spending Rp300,000-500,000 per month accounted for 2.8% in 2022. This proportion remained unchanged from 2021 but increased from 2020.
There were also respondents spending over Rp500,000 per month, although this represented the smallest proportion at 0.4%. This proportion has steadily increased since 2020.
The survey involved 10,000 internet users aged 13-70 years across 34 provinces and 514 regencies/cities in Indonesia. 51% of respondents were male, and 49% were female.
The survey was conducted from August to September 2022 through face-to-face interviews. A multistage random sampling method was used, with a margin of error of approximately 0.98% and a 95% confidence interval.
Respondents represented diverse backgrounds, including housewives, entrepreneurs, employees, students, farmers, and others. The full survey report can be accessed and downloaded at https://survei.literasidigital.id/.
