The median household income in the U.S. is $59,039 according to the most recent government data. Approximately half of all Americans will fall below this household income amount, and the other half will fall above. Although this may help you learn which half you and your family fall under, this figure doesn't help us compare households of different sizes. Moreover, there aren't universally accepted definitions of the various economic classes.

At the top of the income classes is the upper class. There is no single definition of whom this includes. Many think of the upper class in terms of the 1%. To be in the richest 1% nationally, a household needs to have the annual income of at least $389,436, according to the Economic Policy Institute. But one could argue that the upper class is larger than that if you look at America as a whole.

According to census data from 2015, 6.1% of households bring in $200,000 and higher every year and 14.1% bring in between $100,000 and $150,000. This is the upper middle class.
