Tax Burden vs. Citizen Happiness (2025)

Does a larger government mean happier citizens? Each bubble = 1 country.

How to read this: X-axis = tax revenue as % of GDP (right = larger govt). Y-axis = citizen happiness score (0–10, higher = happier). Bubble size = GDP per capita (bigger bubble = wealthier nation). Look for the cluster: do high-tax countries tend toward higher happiness? Your selected country is the indigo bubble.

Methodology: Per-Citizen Govt Spending = GDP per Capita (PPP) × Total Govt Revenue (% of GDP) × sector allocation % — a fixed macro figure independent of personal salary. Personal tax estimate = Salary × Tax Revenue (% of GDP), shown in the header only. Fiscal Efficiency Score = average percentile rank across HALE, PISA, Infrastructure Quality (1–5), and Happiness Score, normalised across all 50 countries per year.
