Income by State: Statistics and Percentile Calculator

Written by:
PK

On this page are 2025 income by state statistics and an income percentile by state calculator for the United States for either individual income or household income.

Enter pre-tax (gross) income earned between January and December 2024, and select a state and income type to compare an income percentile.

After: See the income percentiles by city for metro area. We also have an individual income calculator and household income calculator.

Household income by state: average, median, and top 1%

In this table, I list the 50 states and the District of Columbia with summary statistics for household income. Find the average, median, and top 1% household income by state. I also include the 25th and 75th percentile household income. See my full methodology in the household income research post.

Be careful with the top 1% income estimates - there is less data there by definition, so results may be spurious. Look at the top few percentiles in the tool.

Nationwide in 2025, here is a summary of household income statistics:

  • Average household income was $120,952
  • Median household income was $83,592
  • Top 1% household income was $659,060
  • 25th percentile household income was $41,401
  • 75th percentile household income was $153,000

Individual income by state: average, median, and top 1%

Once again, here's a list of all 50 states and Washington, D.C and some selected summary statistics, this time for individual incomes. Find the average, median, and top 1% individual income by state, plus the 25th and 75th percentile individual income. See how I define a worker (and the rest of the methodology) in the individual income research.

As always, be careful with the Top 1% estimates. There is less data (by definition), so results can be off by more than you'd expect. I again suggest you look at the top few percentiles in the tool.

Nationwide in 2025, here is a summary of individual income statistics:

  • Average individual income was $77,652
  • Median individual income was $53,010
  • Top 1% individual income was $450,100
  • 25th percentile individual income was $30,000
  • 75th percentile individual income was $93,400

Estimates of number of workers and households, plus sample size per state
