Methodology & sources

How the percentile is calculated

Your income is placed on the distribution of U.S. individual earnings for your age group and interpolated to a percentile. Age groups follow common Census brackets: 16–24, 25–34, 35–44, 45–54, 55–64, and 65+.

The median figures approximate the U.S. Census Bureau’s Current Population Survey income data. Other percentile thresholds approximate the survey’s distribution shape and are for educational comparison, not exact microdata.
