## Household Income Percentile Statistics in 2019

In our last post on household income brackets and summary statistics, I made a graph comparing some income percentiles year over year. Here's what the household icome brackets look like for the 10th, 25th, 50th, 75th, 90th, 95th, and 99th (top 1%) percentiles:

### What is the top one percent household income in the US in 2019?

To be top 1% in the United States in 2019, you had to earn \$475,116.00 or more as a household between January and December 2018.

Note: Net worth is a better proxy for the 1% (see our one percent in America article), yet most often one-percenter refers to income.
