Percentile questions
- What is a net worth percentile? Your percentile is the share of U.S. households whose net worth is at or below yours. Ranking in the 90th percentile means your household has more wealth than 90% of households. This calculator shows your percentile overall and within your age group.
- What is the median U.S. household net worth? The middle household had a net worth of $192,700 in the 2022 survey — about $225,000 in our latest quarterly estimate. Half of households are below that; half are above.
- What net worth puts you in the top 10%? Roughly $1.9 million in the 2022 survey — about $2.3 million in our latest estimate — though the bar differs a lot by age group. Enter your number above to see your exact rank.
- Why compare net worth by age? Wealth builds over a lifetime, so the same net worth can be a high percentile at 30 and below the median at 60. Comparing within your age bracket is the fairer benchmark.
Methodology
- Source data. The Federal Reserve's national survey, weighted to represent all 131.2 million U.S. households. Net worth means total assets minus total debts, as the government defines them.
- Validation. Our figures use the Federal Reserve's published net worth statistics as their benchmark — the median and mean for all households ($192,700 median) and for every age group.
- Age groups. The six brackets are the government's own classification, by age of the household reference person — the same brackets used in government publications.
- The “2026 estimate” toggle. The survey is fielded every three years; 2022 is the latest wave. To estimate today's thresholds, each measured threshold is scaled by the growth in per-household wealth for its segment of the distribution, using the Federal Reserve's quarterly data through 2026Q1. Negative net worth is left unadjusted.
- Category estimates in the unlocked comparison. In "2026 estimate" mode, each asset and debt category is scaled by the growth of that category's per-household holdings for the band's wealth segment, from the same quarterly Federal Reserve data (homes by real-estate growth, retirement accounts by pension-account growth, cash by deposit growth, and so on), and shown rounded with an ≈ sign.
- What this can't tell you. Ranks are for households, not individuals. Traditional pension promises and Social Security aren't counted — the survey's net worth includes retirement accounts, not the value of future pension income, so if you have a defined-benefit pension your real position is stronger than shown. The survey deliberately excludes the Forbes 400, so the extreme top is understated, and estimates beyond the 99.9th percentile aren't reliable — the tool caps there. The 2026 estimate assumes households within each wealth segment grew at the segment average; your actual cohort may differ. None of this is financial advice.
