This is the table that you should use to figure out where you are in the income categories, using your 2009 AGI:
threshold | minimum AGI |
---|---|
top 0.1% | 1,432,890 |
top 1% | 343,927 |
top 5% | 154,643 |
top 10% | 112,124 |
top 25% | 66,193 |
top 50% | 32,396 |
As a result of this change, a family with $250,000 AGI in 2009 would be in the top 2%.
Wow, going by that chart, my brother is a 1-percenter! No wonder my “independent” bro is suddenly so ticked off about Democrats.
