Track how much the world population is estimated to grow today. This page focuses on net change — births minus deaths — and converts the annual model into a live UTC-based increase.
This page focuses on net global population change rather than only total population. It estimates how much the world population has increased during the current UTC day by comparing births and deaths.
Net population growth helps show the pace of demographic change in a simple daily format.
This page turns a large yearly estimate into a simple page that can be understood quickly.
Daily, monthly and yearly progress uses UTC time so the counter has one consistent global reference.
The page links back to the homepage, Live Data hub, sources and related topic pages.
This estimate uses annual births minus annual deaths, then distributes the net yearly change across the current UTC year.
Pulse Of Globe pages use publicly available yearly statistics and convert them into real-time estimates. Values are directional estimates, not official live measurements. For methodology and public datasets, visit the Data Sources page.
The current model uses 136 million annual births and 67 million annual deaths, producing about 69 million net growth per year — roughly 2.19 people per second.
About 2.19 people are added to the global population per second in the current model.
The same model averages roughly 189,041 additional people per day.
Net growth is calculated from the difference between the annual birth and death baselines.
Open World Population Live to compare net daily growth with the full estimated population.
Quick answers about this estimate, its time scale and how to interpret the number.
The current model averages roughly 189,041 net additional people per day.
The current model estimates about 2.19 people of net population growth per second.
No. Net population growth reflects births minus deaths in the simplified model.
No. It is a live-style estimate based on annual public-data baselines and elapsed UTC time.
