US household income

This section shows the money made every year in the US, broken into five pools of about $2 trillion each. The pools are sorted by income level—the top $2 trillion is made by a small number of wealthy households (the "one percent"), while the bottom $2 trillion represents the combined annual income of the poorer half of the country.

Note: Figures are only estimates—these statistics were computed using data from the Congressional Budget Office analysis of 2007 incomes, and have been subject to the normalizations detailed below.

Who	# Households	% Households	Typical income/year	Income
The 1%	1.6 million	1.3	>$400,000	$1,397,000,000,000
High incomes	9 million	8	$150,000 - $400,000	$1,411,000,000,000
Upper incomes	18 million	16	$90,000 - $150,000	$1,553,000,000,000
Upper middle incomes	27 million	23	$55,000 - $90,000	$1,610,000,000,000
The bottom 50%	63 million	~50	<$55,000	$1,711,000,000,000
Total	118.6 million	98.3		$7,682,910,000,000

Amount needed

Type	Amount	Notes
Required for poverty-line income	$2,602,000,000,000	This is the amount that must be set aside from each pool to leave $22,350—roughly a poverty-line income—for each family in that pool. If taxes are cut into this region, then it forces the average after-tax income for the pool below $22,350. (Of course, many families in this group make less than that already.)
Required for a middle-class income	$4,874,000,000,000	This is the amount that must be set aside from each pool to leave $44,700—roughly double the poverty-line income—for each family in that pool.
Amount needed to give everyone an income over $100,000	$7,070,000,000,000	Amount which must be left in the pool to keep the average income above $100,000 (See descriptions below for details)
Amount needed to give everyone an income over $250,000	$8,836,000,000,000	Amount which must be left in the pool to keep the average income above $250,000 (See descriptions below for details)

Taxes

Type	Amount	Notes
State taxes	$642,030,000,000	Unlike federal taxes, state taxes are regressive—the poor pay a higher percentage of their income than the rich. This is because sales taxes, a large component of state revenues, fall disproportionately on the poor.
Federal taxes	$2,192,180,000,000	effective total federal taxes paid, after deductions and tax credits

Note on methodology: these totals were calculated from an analysis of the 2007 CBO report on effective federal tax rates by income. There were some mismatches between figures on total income from various sources and combined CBO tax rates/federal revenue. The income totals here were adjusted for inflation and then scaled slightly to match federal tax revenue. This should only affect the total reported income and not the distribution of the tax burden or the rough makeup of the quintiles.

Individual tax deductions

These are types of income, or uses of income, which the government has partly or fully exempt from tax, often to encourage some activity. This can be thought of as 'spent' tax revenue, although it's not quite that simple; there's no guarantee [that] removing the deduction would add that amount to revenue, because the presence of the deduction may be affecting taxpayers' spending habits.
