Here’s how much money you would need to make to be in the top one percent of households in Washington, D.C., Maryland, and Virginia.

WASHINGTON - Have you ever wondered how much you would need to make to be among the top earners in your state?

SmartAsset analyzed data from the IRS and Bureau of Labor Statistics to find the minimum income required to be considered among the top one percent of households in all 50 states.

The study found that the one percent threshold varies from state to state, ranging from as much as $952,902 in Connecticut to as little as $367,582 in West Virginia.

If our nation's capital were a state – it would be ranked number one, the study says. Washington D.C.'s top one percent earned $1,013,698 in 2023.

Elsewhere in the D.C. region, you would need to earn $633,333 in Maryland, $643,848 in Virginia, and $529,928 in Delaware to be considered among the top one percent of earners.

Nationally, households that make $652,657 are considered among the top one percent – which means they earn more than eight times as much as the median household, which sits around $75,000.
