Your income is in the 58.0th percentile among all US workers.

  • Your income is above the national median. You earn more than roughly half of all workers included in this dataset.
  • The average (mean) income is pulled significantly above the median by top earners. The median is a better benchmark for a "typical" worker.
  • Comparing to all workers includes part-time and seasonal earners. Switch to "full-time only" for a narrower, higher-bar comparison.
  • Cost of living varies widely: a given income may stretch much further in rural areas or lower-cost states than in coastal metro areas.

Next stepConsider how your take-home pay compares after federal and state taxes, since marginal rates rise with income.
