Check if you are middle class in the US

Pew Research Center released calculator, which allows you to calculate whether you fall into the lower, middle or upper class based on your income. To do this, the calculator compares a large amount of information—state, income, household size, education level, age, race, and marital status—with 2016 government data.

According to the Pew Research Center, the share of the U.S. middle class was higher in 2016 than in 2010—welcome news after decades of reports of a disappearing middle class. Despite this increase, the average income of the middle class as of 2016 remained the same as in 2000. In less encouraging news, the income gap between the middle and upper classes in the United States is widening.

Financially, Americans fall into three economic segments: 52% of adults live in middle-income households, 29% in low-income households, and 19% in high-income households.
