Average Income by Age (Are You Behind?)
How does your salary compare to others your age in 2025? 📊
Are you ahead… or falling behind?
In this video, we break down the average income by age in the United States using the latest data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. We focus on median income, not misleading averages, so you get a realistic picture of what people actually earn at every stage of life.
Here’s what you’ll learn:
• The average U.S. salary overall
• Median income for ages 16–19
• Median income for ages 20–24
• Median income for ages 25–34
• Median income for ages 35–44
• Median income for ages 45–54
• Median income for ages 55–64
• Income trends for workers 65+
• Why 45% of six-figure earners still live paycheck to paycheck
• How to increase your income at any age
Income varies by experience, education, industry, location, and skill set. These numbers don’t define your success, but they give powerful context to help you evaluate your progress and set realistic financial goals.
If you’re below the median for your age group, don’t panic. Your income is only one part of your financial story. What matters more is how much you save, how much you invest, and how effectively you build long-term wealth.
We also cover practical ways to grow your income:
• Negotiating raises
• Switching industries
• Earning certifications
• Building side income
• Investing in dividend stocks and real estate
