CALCULATOR SHOWS IF YOU’RE IN MIDDLE CLASS

Americans can calculate if they are lower, middle or upper class by using the Pew Research Center’s updated calculator. Pew uses government data as recent as 2016 to calculate results. A couple with a household income of $100,000 in New York is considered middle class, while the same couple with the same income in El Paso, Texas, is considered in the upper-income tier. Users can compare themselves to other Americans by selecting a level of education, age, race/ethnicity and marital status. The calculator can be found at https://pewrsr.ch/2MWh8be.
