The numbers come from the IMF World Economic Outlook: general government gross debt, GDP and population for 187 countries.
The IMF gives debt at the end of each year, so the calculator moves the debt in a straight line from last year's figure to this year's
estimate. Interest uses the IMF's latest ratio of interest paid on public debt to GDP for the country, applied to this year's GDP.
We divide the government's gross debt by the country's population, then multiply by the number of people in your household. The debt keeps ticking between the IMF's year-end figures, so your share grows while you watch.

Do I personally have to pay my share?
No. Nobody receives a bill for the national debt. It is repaid through future taxes, spending cuts, economic growth and inflation, which is why the share per person is a way to grasp the size of the debt, not a personal debt.
