Reply #24: Top 20% is $85,000 and up in 2003.

So the cutoff is right where I had it. 85k is the high end of the Middle class if one wants to use that Upper 20% Rich catagory.

All of the computations that I'm doing are off of excel, and the tables, so it's easier to just go with the 75-200% of Inflation Adjusted Median.

Yes that makes it 86k but for the purposes of comparing fiscal years the round numbered percentages are best. Shaving off a percent or two isn't clean or neat.
