Household Income Percentile Calculator (1979 to 2007 PLUS 2020)
UPDATE: Wow, this was really old so I added 2020 numbers. You now need over $531K per year to be in the top 1%.
This calculator takes any household income number and finds the percentile
for that
income level as reported by the Congressional Budget Office
(CBO) from their
October 2011 report. The income amount you enter will be based on 2007
dollars and the calculated percentiles are computed linearly from the minimums
of each bounding category (which is not very accurate in the bottom quintile). If you reach the Top 1% minimum for any year it simply states Top 1% since that is as high as it goes.
