A snapshot of median net worth (in each country's native currency) across age brackets, from the most recent published data. Currency is not converted — comparisons are within-country.
| Age | Median | Mean | Top 10% |
|---|
The medians and means below come straight from the Federal Reserve's 2022 Survey of Consumer Finances — still the newest full wealth-distribution survey available (published October 2023; the 2025 wave's results are expected in late 2026). Percentile thresholds and ranks are derived from the same committed dataset that powers the calculator above.
The median net worth of U.S. households under 35 is $39,000; the mean is $183,500 — 4.7× higher (Federal Reserve SCF 2022, published October 2023, in 2022 dollars). It takes $104,932 to enter the top 25% of this age group and $305,270 to reach the top 10%. A $100,000 net worth already ranks near the 74th percentile.
Median net worth for ages 35–44 is $135,600 — 3.5× the under-35 median, the largest jump between any two adjacent age brackets in the SCF 2022 data (in 2022 dollars). The mean is $549,600. The top 25% of this bracket starts at $410,483 and the top 10% at $1,016,824; a $100,000 net worth sits near the 46th percentile, just below the median.
U.S. households aged 45–54 have a median net worth of $247,200 and a mean of $975,800 (Federal Reserve SCF 2022, in 2022 dollars). These are typically peak earning years, yet half the bracket still holds about a quarter of the mean or less. The top 25% threshold is $821,023, the top 10% threshold $2,063,884, and $100,000 ranks near the 35th percentile.
At ages 55–64 — the last full bracket before typical retirement age — median net worth is $364,500 and the mean is $1,566,900 (SCF 2022, in 2022 dollars). Entering the top 25% takes $1,158,155; the top 10% starts at $2,917,515, roughly eight times the median. A $100,000 net worth ranks near the 28th percentile of this bracket.
Median net worth peaks at ages 65–74: $409,900, with a mean of $1,794,600 (Federal Reserve SCF 2022, in 2022 dollars). No other age bracket is wealthier at the median. The top 25% of this bracket holds at least $1,176,975 and the top 10% at least $2,935,892; a $100,000 net worth ranks near the 26th percentile.
For households 75 and older, median net worth slips to $335,600 — about 18% below the 65–74 peak as retirees draw down savings (Federal Reserve SCF 2022, in 2022 dollars). The mean is $1,624,100, still 4.8× the median. The top 25% threshold is $976,393, the top 10% threshold $2,751,200, and $100,000 ranks near the 26th percentile.
Original observations derived from the SCF 2022 percentile breakpoints (method below). For 2026 context: the Fed's Financial Accounts release of March 19, 2026 puts total U.S. household net worth at $184.1 trillion at the end of 2025, and the quarterly Distributional Financial Accounts (updated March 27, 2026) show aggregate wealth has kept growing since the 2022 survey fieldwork — so current-dollar thresholds likely sit somewhat higher than the 2022-dollar figures on this page. Per-age percentile detail, however, only comes from the triennial SCF; the 2025 survey results are expected in late 2026.
In every SCF age bracket, mean net worth runs 3.9×–4.8× the median, and the gap is widest for the youngest and oldest households. Any article quoting "average net worth" overstates the typical household's position roughly four-fold. Use the median — or better, your percentile rank within your own age bracket.
A $100,000 net worth ranks near the 74th percentile for under-35 households (top 26%), around the 46th percentile at ages 35–44, and only near the 28th percentile at 55–64. The full per-bracket positions of $100,000 and $1,000,000 are in the table below.
The largest median jump between adjacent brackets is under-35 → 35–44: 3.5× ($39,000 → $135,600). Growth then decelerates every decade — +82% into 45–54, +47% into 55–64, +12% into 65–74 — before the median falls 18% from its $409,900 peak for households 75 and older.
It takes about $1,158,155 to enter the top 25% of 55–64-year-old households. That same $1,158,155 ranks an under-35 household near the 97th percentile — the top 3% of its age group. Your percentile rank against your own age bracket says far more than any single national number.
| Age | Mean ÷ median | $100,000 lands at | $1,000,000 lands at |
|---|---|---|---|
| Under 35 | 4.7× | 74th percentile | 96th percentile |
| 35–44 | 4.1× | 46th percentile | 90th percentile |
| 45–54 | 3.9× | 35th percentile | 78th percentile |
| 55–64 | 4.3× | 28th percentile | 72nd percentile |
| 65–74 | 4.4× | 26th percentile | 71st percentile |
| 75+ | 4.8× | 26th percentile | 75th percentile |
US medians and means come directly from Table 2 of the Federal Reserve Bulletin "Changes in U.S. Family Finances from 2019 to 2022" (October 2023). Per-bracket percentile breakpoints (p10–p99) are not published by the Fed: p25–p99 come from DQYDJ's third-party tables computed from the SCF 2022 public-use microdata, averaged from 5-year age bands into our 10-year brackets and rescaled (0.90–1.03×) so each bracket's p50 matches the official Bulletin median exactly, while p10 is a log-linear extrapolation from p25 and p50 — the full per-country derivation is in the dataset source notes linked below. Ranks between breakpoints are log-linear interpolations — the exact engine the calculator above uses, so the report and the tool can never disagree.
Sources by country: United States — Federal Reserve Survey of Consumer Finances 2022 (published October 2023; next wave expected late 2026). United Kingdom — ONS Wealth and Assets Survey, April 2018–March 2020. Canada — Statistics Canada Survey of Financial Security 2023. Czechia & Germany — ECB Household Finance and Consumption Survey, 2021 wave (published July 2023).
All US figures are in 2022 dollars and are not inflation-adjusted to 2026. Survey definitions also differ by country — the SCF excludes defined-benefit pension wealth, while the UK and Canadian surveys include it — so cross-country comparisons are indicative only.

| Term | Description |
|---|---|
| Net worth | Total assets minus total liabilities. |
| Percentile | A value showing the percentage of people below you on a distribution. |
| Assets | Everything you own that has monetary value — cash, investments, property, vehicles. |
| Liabilities | Everything you owe — mortgage, student loans, credit-card balances. |
| Wealth distribution | The spread of net-worth values across a population, usually shown as deciles or percentiles. |
| Median vs mean | The median is the middle value; the mean is the average. In wealth, the mean is dragged up by the very rich, so median is more representative. |
Net worth is your total assets minus your total liabilities. Assets include cash, investments, retirement accounts, real estate, vehicles, and business equity. Liabilities include mortgages, student loans, credit-card debt, and any other money you owe.
Include your home at current market value and subtract your mortgage. Include retirement accounts (401k, IRA, equivalent) at current balance. Cars depreciate fast — include at a conservative resale value. Defined-benefit pensions are excluded from most public datasets (SCF, HFCS), so we exclude them here too for an apples-to-apples comparison.
