How much money people working abroad send home.
The ranking uses the latest available value for each country — the year is shown in the row. The table spans 1983 to 2025.
Top-20 · US$
The scale does not start at zero — the values lie in a narrow range, and starting from zero the bars would be indistinguishable. The axis ticks are labeled.

Personal remittances received by a country: the earnings of labor migrants sent home, plus transfers between households. For a couple of dozen countries this flow is larger than any single export item, and for several it exceeds a fifth of GDP — remittances then become the main external link of the economy, steadier than both direct investment and foreign aid: in a crisis they usually do not fall but rise, because migrants send their families more.
Important: Only transfers through banks and money transfer systems are counted. Cash brought in person does not reach the statistics, so the real volumes are higher — by estimates, noticeably so.
How much money leaves a country in remittances — mostly the earnings of incomers.
Migration 1990–2024 Number of immigrantsHow many people born abroad live in the country at present.
Economy 1960–2025 Gross national incomeThe income received by the residents of a country — including what is earned abroad, but without what foreigners earn inside it.
Finance 1960–2023 Development aid receivedHow much official development assistance a country receives — in grants and concessional loans.
