Below are estimated United States net worth brackets by age, from surveys conducted between February 2019 and early 2020. It's the newest data until September 2023. You'll also find the average, median, and top 1% net worth for selected age groups.

Net Worth Benchmarks by Age in 2020

Elsewhere, we looked at average household net worth.

While overall net worth is a useful benchmark, time in a career or job makes a huge difference to wealth. By adjusting net worth statistics for age groups – a decent proxy for experience and time in career – we can work around the effects of the United States's demographics. Note: This data comes from the Federal Reserve's 2019 SCF. It is comprised of interviews mainly from 2019. Just 9% of interviews were conducted while COVID-19 was heavily affecting the US economy, between February and April 2020.

What was the median net worth by age?

In 2020, overall median household net worth was $121,411 (up from $97,225.55 in 2017). Age Median Net Worth 18-24 $8,216.04 25-29 $7,511.60 30-34 $35,111.76 35-39 $55,519.42 40-44 $127,344.55 45-49 $164,196.96 50-54 $171,320.07 55-59 $193,548.76 60-64 $228,832.56 65-69 $271,805.38 70-74 $258,531.36 75-79 $272,976.15 80+ $235,192.87

What was the average net worth by age?

The overall average household net worth in 2020 was $746,821, up from 2017's $692,100. Age Average Net Worth 18-24 $28,707.13 25-29 $49,387.83 30-34 $122,699.69 35-39 $274,112.44 40-44 $623,694.13 45-49 $761,560.21 50-54 $897,663.14 55-59 $1,165,476.62 60-64 $1,187,729.54 65-69 $1,250,678.99 70-74 $1,173,653.23 75-79 $945,479.81 80+ $973,141.05

What is the top 1% household net worth by age?

Warning: please be skeptical; read this chart as "the top 1% is around this amount". A longer discussion is below. To be top 1% in 2020, a household needed a net worth of $11,099,166. $10,374,030 was the 1% threshold in 2017. Age Top 1% Net Worth 18-24 $435,076.59 25-29 $606,188.36 30-34 $956,944.74 35-39 $4,034,486.45 40-44 $7,909,636.79 45-49 $10,494,100.10 50-54 $13,524,093.87 55-59 $17,545,848.60 60-64 $14,629,637.13 65-69 $16,439,046.11 70-74 $12,625,305.04 75-79 $12,770,142.25 80+ $9,932,353.20

Household Net Worth Percentiles by Age for the United States in 2020

Below is every household net worth percentile in 2020 for selected percentiles and age groups. It's dense, I know – there is a more convenient presentation (with every percentile!) in the net worth by age calculator.

Net Worth By Age Brackets (No House)

I know some people prefer this measure, so here are the net worth brackets by age in 2020 ignoring the value of a primary residence: Age Average Net Worth 25% 50% (Median) 75% 90% 99% 18-24 $14,781.61 -$2,181.30 $5,426.67 $20,913.29 $57,102.54 $187,751.98 25-29 $29,178.85 -$7,202.28 $5,920.97 $30,052.13 $90,285.02 $387,658.47 30-34 $79,377.94 -$100.74 $13,867.44 $55,233.60 $150,723.85 $556,306.37 35-39 $204,845.16 $587.35 $20,261.27 $128,213.80 $427,191.62 $3,681,088.98 40-44 $509,311.25 $7,851.36 $55,344.25 $224,725.37 $647,541.48 $6,905,953.40 45-49 $605,209.63 $7,806.23 $60,580.05 $282,998.60 $1,102,544.73 $8,367,120.02 50-54 $715,168.67 $8,096.96 $64,622.75 $305,810.38 $1,109,275.01 $11,379,908.83 55-59 $954,918.49 $9,799.17 $58,687.42 $412,046.30 $1,948,143.72 $16,328,258.54 60-64 $982,239.87 $7,715.07 $85,324.31 $507,410.24 $1,619,428.82 $12,295,542.39 65-69 $1,037,019.24 $7,906.38 $75,482.32 $535,715.68 $1,506,405.88 $15,408,189.06 70-74 $932,024.83 $13,486.40 $95,064.49 $483,370.72 $1,612,947.06 $10,761,568.17 75-79 $718,292.21 $12,312.74 $86,631.82 $382,940.58 $1,138,397.57 $11,284,347.81 80+ $786,517.33 $11,740.00 $86,890.89 $410,473.94 $1,262,921.19 $8,641,027.37 Note: you should include a house in your net worth – it has real value, and at minimum offsets rent you'd be paying.

Methodology on 2020 United States Household Income Brackets

Data is sourced from the Federal Reserve's 2019 SCF, released September, 2020. Find the Federal Reserve's summary reports here, and the data descriptions here.

Is this household net worth data?

This is not technically household data but primary economic unit data.

They are very close, but:

"...the PEU consists of an economically dominant single individual or couple (married or living as partners) in a household and all other individuals in the household who are financially interdependent with that individual or couple. For example, in the case of a household composed of a married couple who

own their home, a minor child, a dependent adult child, and a

financially independent parent of one of the members of the couple,

the PEU would be the couple and the two children." Federal Reserve SCF Data Codebook, 2019

: 5,783 surveys with 6 redactions. Estimated PEUs of 128,642,430. 2017: 6,254 surveys with 6 redactions for the public data. An estimated 125,981,700 PEUs.

Samples and Estimates by Age

Broken down by age, here are the number of data points in the set (and the number of households/PEUs they map onto): Age Survey Samples Estimated Households 18-24 199 6,230,150 25-29 300 8,992,539 30-34 374 11,627,799 35-39 490 11,369,005 40-44 455 10,007,198 45-49 516 10,358,270 50-54 611 11,713,876 55-59 631 12,187,773 60-64 650 11,997,897 65-69 568 10,801,120 70-74 429 8,883,805 75-79 288 7,679,318 80+ 266 6,793,681 To head off the inevitable questions about individual ages, they don't particularly make sense with this data set. There just aren't that many data points to go around – and net worth is not a normal distribution (or well-behaved at all, really). There are only rules of thumb here: I'd prefer to use 3 samples per percentile. For good survey design oversampling the poorly-behaved top (like in the SCF!), we can push it a bit – and I do in 18-24, 75-79, 80+ age groups. But, please, you need to be skeptical. Particularly of the top 2-3%.

Does net worth include the capitalized value of defined benefit plans?

It's an important question – and no, it does not. For a longer discussion please see the average net worth article. Basically, there is no secondary market for selling a defined benefit plan. I could build some sort of an overlay into the tools, but it's not a 'real' number (although recent scholarship is pretty good).

Are the younger age groups accurate?

Yes, with caveats – read this section to the end. Remember, per the net worth research, you're looking at Primary Economic Units not households. The SCF isn't necessarily good at capturing the debt of adult children not dependent on a parent's assets in a PEU (see this paper for more, 4.2 Liabilities). For an obvious example, the SCF's sample doesn't include adults in institutional settings... or dormitories. So: as you read, note that the younger households you see – especially in the 18-24 year old age group – are financially independent or emancipated households.
