Making $376,252 a year in one state will land you in the top 1%. In another state, you'll need to make more than $975,000 to clear that bar. (The highest entry on the list, at more than $1 million a year, is -- spoiler alert -- not actually a state.)

What do the numbers look like for making the top 25%? Make just over $78,000 a year and you'll crack that list in the state with the lowest bar. In the state with the highest bar, you'll need to make about $131,000.

So says Internal Revenue Service data on individual income for 2020, the most recent year available. GOBankingRates has taken those figures and used the Bureau of Labor Statistics CPI inflation calculator to turn the numbers into 2023 dollars.

You may find some surprises on the list. Hawaii, known for its Mauna Kea-high cost of living, has the 41^st highest bar for reaching the top 1%. (If you aren't familiar with Hawaiian mountains, Mauna Kea is really tall.)

You might think California or New York top the list. If so, guess again.

Here's a state-by-state breakdown (D.C., too!) of where you need to be to make each level. Plus, the overall numbers for the entire U.S.

Methodology: For this piece GOBankingRates looked at Internal Revenue Service (IRS) data from the 2020 tax season and found each state's threshold for the top 25%, 10%, 5% and 1% of earners. Once these figures were isolated, GOBankingRates used the Bureau of Labor Statistics CPI inflation calculator to find each figure in 2023 dollars. All data was collected and is up to date as of July 27, 2023.
