Are you in the US middle class? Try our income calculator | Pew Research Center

Glad to see that it is still part of the fabric of our society.

I don't see how $26K is Middle Class, but okay.

Are you kidding me? When you entered $2,000.00 the results were Middle Class?

$73,000 is considered upper class.

$23,000 middle class? That is less than $12. hour. Kind of shoots holes in the FF worker's demands for $15. hour.

I am beyond 73,000, and it gave the low, middle, and upper for middle class. I fell in the middle.

Are these Special Olympics "classes"?

According to their calculator, I'm 'upper class' driving around in my 15 year old truck and paying down student loans.
