This graph shows the different types of income of the “Top 400″ from 1992-2005. Number one source of income is Capital Gains, which accounts for more than 50% of their income in 2005.

The “Top 400″ are the 400 tax returns with the highest adjusted gross income reported to the IRS.

Federal Income Tax Rates by Household Income

Published by Catherine on March 23, 2008 in Bar Chart, Congressional Budget Office, Income - Types of, Tax Rates and United States. 4 Comments

I updated a previous graph, comparing the effective tax rates for the Federal Individual Income and Social Insurance (payroll) by adding Excise and Corporate Income. Additionally, I added the tax rates for the Top 1%. Note: the effective tax rate increases for both individual and corporate income the higher the household’s income, while the social insurance and excise tax rate decreases.

Sources of Income for Top 0.01 Percent

Published by Catherine on May 6, 2007 in Area Graph, Income - Share of, Income - Types of, Pitketty & Saez and United States. 1 Comment

In my earlier post on Sources of Income of the super rich I plotted the percentage of income that comes from wages, entrepreneurial income, dividend income, interest income, and rental income for the Top 0.01 percent; but this did not include capital gains. In 2005 capital gains was 18% of the income of the super rich (if you exclude capital gains when determining the Top 0.01 percent).

In the graphs below, I have plotted the all 6 income sources for Top 0.01% (this time including capital gains as one of the income sources).

Sources of Income for Top 0.01 Percent (excluding capital gains)

Published by Catherine on April 16, 2007 in Area Graph, Income - High, Income - Share of, Income - Types of, Pitketty & Saez and United States. 3 Comments

In my earlier post I plotted the percentage of income that comes from capital gains for the Top 0.01 percent. (In 2005 it was 18% if you exclude capital gains when determining the Top 0.01 percent and 51% if you include capital gains when determining the Top 0.01 percent).

In the graphs below, I have plotted the other income sources for Top 0.01% (excluding capital gains when you rank the families). The question I am trying to answer: since most of the income was not from capital gains in the original graph, what are the sources of the unaccounted for income?
