Common questions
How is my percentile calculated?
Your number is placed on the cohort's percentile band (10th, 25th, 50th, 75th and 90th percentiles) by interpolation, with a log-normal tail above the 90th percentile so very high values still get a meaningful rank. It is the same calculation the Keeping Up app uses.
Where does the comparison data come from?
Cohort distributions are modeled from federal survey microdata — the Federal Reserve's Survey of Consumer Finances, the BLS Consumer Expenditure Survey, Census ACS and BLS wage data — and blend toward anonymized, aggregated Keeping Up member data as each cohort grows.
Should I enter my own numbers or my household's?
The comparison data is modeled from the Federal Reserve's Survey of Consumer Finances, which measures households (grouped by the age of the household's reference person). If you share finances with a partner, enter your combined figures for the fairest comparison; if you enter only your own, your percentile will read somewhat low. As Keeping Up's live, individual-level cohorts grow, the comparison shifts toward individuals.
Is anything I type stored?
No. Your figures stay in your browser. The only request sent is for the comparison group (age, metro, industry). If you copy a results link, the numbers are in that link — share it only if you want to.
