Per capita

Per capita is a Latin phrase meaning for each head.

Usually used to indicate the average per person of any given statistic, commonly income.

It is also used in wills to indicate that each of the named beneficiaries should inherit equal shares of the estate. This is in contrast to a per stirpes division, in which each branch of the inheriting family inherits an equal share of the estate.
