You might be surprised to learn that the top 20 percent of income earners bring in a household income of just over $100,000. The top 10 percent of earners have a household income of more than $148,687. To be considered in the top 1 percent, household income is at least $521,411.

If your household income is $195k a year, you're in the upper 5%,, $150k, upper 10 percent, and $100 k is upper 20 percent.
