One is a very simple calculation. Total amount given divided by the population of that nation. This is the per capita figure. Or amount given PER PERSON.
The other measures the generosity by looking at the total amount given as a proportion of that countries GDP, or $$$ earned in a year. This essentially looks at a country's ABILITY to give. That Nationmaster statistic expresses it in terms of dollars and cents given for each $100 of GDP.
Simple when you think about it.
