Romania’s national statistics institute reported average monthly household income reached 9,399 lei (approximately $2,000 USD) in 2025, a 13.6% increase year-over-year. Per capita, this translates to 3,782 lei monthly. Simultaneously, average monthly household expenditure reached 8,037 lei, representing 85.5% of income. The data indicates a significant portion of income is allocated to expenses, leaving limited discretionary funds. Notably, the average monthly spending on education was only 27 lei per household. This suggests a low level of investment in educational resources at the household level despite overall income growth. The INS data provides a snapshot of the economic situation and spending priorities of Romanian families.
