This statistic shows the median household income in the United States from 1990 to 2023 in 2023 U.S. dollars. The median household income was 80,610 U.S. dollars in 2023, an increase from the previous year. Household incomeThe median household income depicts the income of households, including the income of the householder and all other individuals aged 15 years or over living in the household. Income includes wages and salaries, unemployment insurance, disability payments, child support payments received, regular rental receipts, as well as any personal business, investment, or other kinds of income received routinely. The median household income in the United States varies from state to state. In 2020, the median household income was 86,725 U.S. dollars in Massachusetts, while the median household income in Mississippi was approximately 44,966 U.S. dollars at that time. Household income is also used to determine the poverty line in the United States. In 2021, about 11.6 percent of the U.S. population was living in poverty. The child poverty rate, which represents people under the age of 18 living in poverty, has been growing steadily over the first decade since the turn of the century, from 16.2 percent of the children living below the poverty line in year 2000 to 22 percent in 2010. In 2021, it had lowered to 15.3 percent. The state with the widest gap between the rich and the poor was New York, with a Gini coefficient score of 0.51 in 2019. The Gini coefficient is calculated by looking at average income rates. A score of zero would reflect perfect income equality and a score of one indicates a society where one person would have all the money and all other people have nothing.

In 2023, there were 577,000 German households with a household net income of under 500 euros per month. Approximately 18 percent of households had a monthly income of 5,000 euros and more. Disposable net income While at first glance the aforementioned monthly income may seem manageable, based on general German standards of living, it is worth noting that flexibility and expenditure depends on the number of people living in a household, or rather the number of earners in relation to that number. In the case of employed population members, what remains as disposable net income is influenced by various regular payments made by households after the already taxed salary arrives. These payments include, but are not limited to, rent, different types of insurance, repaying loans, fees for internet and mobile phone services. Food and housing When looking at private household spending in Germany, consistent patterns emerge. Housing, water, electricity, gas and other fuel made up the largest share and will increase even further in the coming months, followed by food, beverages, and tobacco.

The most common poverty measures, including that used by the OECD, focus on income based approaches. One of the most common measures of income poverty is the proportion of households with income less than half median equivalised disposable household income (which is set as the poverty line); this is a relative income poverty measure as poverty is measured by reference to the income of others rather than in some absolute sense. Australia has one of the highest household disposable incomes in the world, which means that an Australian relative income poverty line is set at a high level of income compared to most other countries.

OECD statistics on Australian poverty 2015-16 (based on ABS Survey of Income and Housing data and applying a poverty line of 50% of median income) determined the Australian poverty rate was over 25% before taxes and transfers, but falls around 12% after taxes and transfers. Though measuring poverty through application of solely an income measure is not considered comprehensive for an Australian context, however, it does demonstrate that the Australian welfare system more than halves the number of Australians that would otherwise be considered as at risk of living in poverty under that measure.
It is important to consider a range of indicators of persistent disadvantage to understand poverty and hardship and its multidimensional nature. Different indicators point to different dimensions of poverty. While transient poverty is a problem, the experience of persistent poverty is of deeper concern, particularly where families experience intergenerational disadvantage and long-term welfare reliance. HILDA data from the Melbourne Institute of Applied Economic and Social Research shows the Distribution of number of years in poverty 2001–2015. The figure focuses on the longer term experience of working age adults and shows that while people do fall into poverty, only a small proportion of people are persistently poor.

Spain’s average income per capita has increased every year since 2014, when the Sovereign Debt Crisis caused a recession. In 2023, the figure amounted to 14,008 euros after taxes, up from 13,008 the previous year. Though this is the highest level to date, the increase is only slightly faster than inflation.

Age and regional differences

The net income per person broken down into age groups shows that young workers, aged between 16 and 29, earn almost 1,300 euros less annually than the national average and more than three thousand euros bellow the average income of workers above 65. This is to be expected, as workers gain experience and expertise as they age. However, regional differences are more remarkable. In the autonomous community with the highest average annual net income, the Basque Country, that figure exceeded 18,189 euros in 2023, while Murcia, which ranked as the region with the lowest average income, registered an average of approximately 11,314 euros per that year.

Disposable income

The income which remains once taxes and social security charges are deduced is known as disposable income. As of 2023, household savings as share of total disposable income in Spain stood at 7.3 percent. However, savings in relation to disposable income are is expected to diminish in the following years. During the last decade, and particularly throughout the Spanish Sovereign Debt Crisis, the country’s households suffered from high rates of indebtedness in relation to gross disposable income. At the peak in 2013, the indebtedness ratio, the ratio of debt to annual income, exceeded 130 percent. The ratio has since decreased and stood at 93.96 percent in the third quarter of 2022.

In total, about 59.9 percent of U.S. households paid income tax in 2022. The remaining 40.1 percent of households paid no individual income tax. In that same year, about 47.1 percent of U.S. households with an income between 40,000 and 50,000 U.S. dollars paid no individual income taxes.

This layer shows an approximation of the percent of households in the US might see a full refund check from the stimulus bill being passed to help deal with the COVID-19 economic impact. The criteria used for this map was:The amount of the credit allowed by subsection (a) (determined without regard to this subsection and subsection (e)) shall be reduced (but not below zero) by 5 percent of so much of the taxpayer’s adjusted gross income as exceeds—‘‘(1) $150,000 in the case of a joint return,‘‘(2) $112,500 in the case of a head of household, and‘‘(3) $75,000 in the case of a taxpayer not described in paragraph (1) or (2).‘‘(d) ELIGIBLE INDIVIDUAL.—For purposes of thissection, the term ‘eligible individual’ means any individualother than—‘‘(1) any nonresident alien individual,‘‘(2) any individual with respect to whom a deduction under section 151 is allowable to another taxpayer for a taxable year beginning in the calendar year in which the individual’s taxable year beginsThe data comes from the IRS SOI Tax Stats by ZIP Code from 2017 tax returns. The calculation for this map was calculated using the following aggregated income categories:$1 to under $25,000$25,000 to under $50,000$50,000 to under $75,000$75,000 to under $100,000$100,000 to under $200,000$200,000 or moreThese were used to estimate how many individuals who filed tax returns would warrant a full $1,200 from the stimulus bill. This was based on if a filer was single, joint, or head of household. Because some of the cutoffs for the bill fall within these categories, they were split to estimate refunds that fall within that range.
