2023 Oklahoma Statutes Title 12. Civil Procedure §12-1171.2. Child support payment - Income assignment or garnishment proceedings.

A. Any person awarded custody of and support for a minor child by the district court or awarded periodic child support payments by the Department of Human Services, or the Department of Human Services on behalf of a recipient of Temporary Assistance for Needy Families or on behalf of a person not receiving Temporary Assistance for Needy Families shall be entitled to proceed to collect any current child support and child support due and owing through income assignment pursuant to the provisions of this section and Section 1171.3 of this title or Sections 240 through 240.3 of Title 56 of the Oklahoma Statutes or by garnishment, if the minor child is in the custody and care of the person entitled to receive the child support or as is otherwise provided by the court or administrative order at the time of the income assignment or garnishment proceedings.

B. The maximum part of the aggregate disposable earnings of any person for any workweek which is subject to garnishment or income assignment for the support of a minor child shall not exceed:

1. Fifty percent (50%) of such person's disposable earnings for that week, if such person is supporting his spouse or a dependent child other than the child with respect to whose support such order is used; and

2. Sixty percent (60%) of such person's disposable earnings for that week if such person is not supporting a spouse or dependent child.

The fifty percent (50%) specified in paragraph 1 of this subsection shall be deemed to be fifty-five percent (55%) and the sixty percent (60%) specified in paragraph 2 of this subsection shall be deemed to be sixty-five percent (65%), if and to the extent that such earnings are subject to garnishment or income assignment to enforce a support order with respect to a period which is prior to the twelve-week period which ends with the beginning of such workweek.

C. When responding to a notice of income assignment pursuant to Section 1171.3 of this title and a National Medical Support Notice issued pursuant to Section 118.1 of Title 43 and Section 6058A of Title 36 of the Oklahoma Statutes, the payor shall allocate available income in the following priority:

1. Current child and spousal support;

An obligor may voluntarily elect to have the payor withhold amounts in excess of the limits in subsection B of this section to pay the obligor’s portion of the health insurance premium for a dependent child.

What is Child Support?

Faq about child support.

• Oklahoma Child Support Services Website
• Oklahoma Child Support Statutes

Child support is money paid by a parent to financially support a child. 

Only money paid directly to the parent or person taking care of the child is considered child support. Usually this is a monthly payment from one parent to the other after they have separated. Child support is required when someone other than the legal parents has custody of a child in a minor guardianship. In a minor guardianship both parents would pay child support to the guardian. 

Both parents are financially responsible for the child, even if child support has not been determined by the state or a court. The parent with fewer overnight visits with the child is required by Oklahoma to give the other parent money to support a child.

Oklahoma law says that both parents are required to financially support a child. A child support computation can help separated parents determine who owes support, and how much. Any single parent can request child support from the other parent. It’s Oklahoma Law.

The income of each parent is listed and takes into account costs each parent pays, like:

• Daycare for the child,
• Child’s ongoing medical issues,
• Child support paid for other children,
• State benefits the child is enrolled in, and
• How many nights the child spends with each parent

For more information about child support and to calculate or file for child support , go to the Oklahoma Department of Human Services, Child Support Services website .  

To collect your child support, you must first have a support order. A support order is an order from a judge requiring someone to pay you child support. Support orders are usually included in divorce decrees and paternity orders. They also are sometimes issued by the Department of Human Services (DHS). If you do not have a support order, you will need to get one.

Persons who are married to the other parent of their child may need to file for divorce or a separation. Those who have never been married should file a paternity case. In either event, it is a good idea to contact an attorney for assistance with getting a child support order. Once you have an order directing the other parent to pay a certain amount of support, you can take legal steps to collect. 

You can apply for child support with DHS online here . 

The State of Oklahoma maintains child support offices that serve every county in the state. In some counties, like Tulsa, child support services are provided through the Department of Human Services. In other counties, services are provided through District Attorney offices. One child support office may serve several counties.

Child support offices help collect support through a variety of methods. They can take from tax refunds, for example--something private attorneys cannot do. They can also use government computers to locate missing parents.

If you receive TANF benefits, the child support office automatically collects support to reimburse the State for the money DHS pays you. If you go off of TANF the child support office will continue to collect support for you unless you close your case. For a small fee, a child support office will collect support for you even if you have never received public assistance.

Child support offices can also refer cases to other parts of the country. If the parent of your child lives in another state, you can go to your local child support office for help. This method saves the cost and trouble of trying to hire an attorney in another location. Contact information for your local child support office may be found online here .

Income Assignment:  An income assignment is similar to a garnishment. The other parent's employer is required to take money out of their paycheck and send it to you. If the payments are behind, the employer can take out additional wages to apply towards the past-due amount.

To issue an income assignment, contact a private attorney or your local child support office.Contemp is a type of legal action you can file to collect support.

Contempt Action: Contempt means someone has purposely disobeyed a court order. It is contempt when a parent does not pay support even though he or she had the money to pay. The judge can sentence the parent to as much as six months in jail. To file a contempt action, call a private attorney or your local child support office.

Legal Authority for Income Withholding Orders

The most effective and most often used enforcement tool for CSS is the Income Withholding Order. Oklahoma law provides that all CSS child support orders have provisions for immediate income assignments regardless of whether the obligor is in arrears. 12 O.S. § 1171.3 (G), 43 O.S. § 115 and 56 O.S. § 237 .  CSS uses the Federal Income Withholding for Support (IWO) form, formerly known as Order/Notice to Withhold Income for Child Support, as prescribed by the Secretary of the United States Department of Health and Human Services. 12 O.S. § 1171.3(B) and 56 O.S. § 240.2 (D).

All Income Withholding Orders, whether issued by CSS, private Attorney’s or pro se litigants must use the federal IWO form.  12 O.S. §1171.3  Employers must comply with an IWO received on the approved form. Employers also must reject an IWO that is not regular on its face, for example, if the form has been altered or is incomplete.   The IWO must be rejected if it requires payment to any person, entity or address other than the State or Tribal state disbursal unit (SDU).  If an employer receives an IWO from other than a State or Tribal IV-D program, the IWO must be accompanied by the underlying child support order.  Employers must also honor a child support IWO before any other garnishment, except an IRS tax levy entered before the child support order.

The Federal Consumer Credit Protection Act (CCPA) and Oklahoma law sets limits on the amount that can be withheld from earnings for child support IWOs. The maximum amount of child support withholding percentages are set by 15 U.S.C. §1673 (b)(2). Oklahoma mimics the CCPA limit percentages in 12 O.S. §1171.2 . The limits to withholding are:

• 50% of the disposable income if the obligor is supporting another family;
• 55% of the disposable income if the obligor is supporting another family, with arrears greater than 12 weeks;
• 60% of the disposable income if the obligor is not supporting another family; or
• 65% of the disposable income if the obligor is not supporting another family, with arrears greater than 12 weeks.

An IWO is also the most frequently used enforcement remedy that may be used across state lines.  UIFSA section 502 ( 43 O.S. 601-502 ) requires all employers to honor IWOs regular on their face, even though they come from out of state.  The employer complies with the law of the state of the obligor’s principal place of employment to determine allowable processing fees, the maximum amount that may be withheld from earnings and the time to withhold and remit payments.

While the IWO is primarily used to intercept child support from wages and earnings, the definition of income within the context of an IWO is much broader.  Income is defined at 12 O.S. 1170 and 56 O.S. 237.7 to include any form of payment to an individual regardless of source, including, but not limited to, wages, salary, commission, compensation as an independent contractor, workers’ compensation, disability, annuity and retirement benefits, and any other payments made by any person, private entity, federal or state government, any unit of local government, school district, or any entity created by law.  CSS can and does use the IWO to collect from periodic workers compensation benefits, oil and gas revenue payments, periodic trust payments and other payment sources.

Occasionally CSS also uses the Lump Sum IWO much like other judgement creditors would use a one-time garnishment.  For instance, CSS can collect an obligor’s funds held at the Oklahoma State Treasurer’s Unclaimed Property Fund by issuing a Lump Sum IWO.

In order to request Unclaimed Property to be released to Child Support Services, the local office sends the LMPWUC from ALC. No employer sequence is required on this version of IWO. Search the Oklahoma Unclaimed Property Program website to verify the unclaimed property.

The payor served with an IWO, normally an employer, is liable for any amount up to the accumulated amount that should have been withheld and paid.  The payor also may be fined up to Two Hundred Dollars ($200.00) for each failure to make the required deductions if the payor fails to withhold or pay the support or report according to the terms of the IWO.  An IWO requires a payor to timely report that an obligor has never worked for or is no longer working for the payor.

How to File for and Collect Child Support in Oklahoma

Updated: May 19, 2022

You may file for child support either through the Oklahoma Department of Human Services (DHS), or through district court

If you file for child support through DHS, DHS can hold hearings and order a parent to pay child support

A child support order may be enforced as any other court order, and there can be harsh penalties for not paying

There are two ways to file for and collect child support in Oklahoma: you may file either in district court or through DHS. In district court, a judge may order child support in cases where custody and visitation of children are at issue. These cases include divorce, paternity, and guardianship cases. Elsewhere on this site, I discuss the services the Persaud Law Office provides for family law cases in district court . In this post, I will focus exclusively on child support cases in DHS. 

DHS only has the authority to issue orders about child support. DHS may not make orders relating to custody or visitation. To obtain a custody or visitation order, you will have to file 

a divorce, separation, or an annulment case (if you are married to the other parent) or 

a paternity case (if you are not married to the other parent) or 

a guardianship case (if you are a nonparent seeking custody.)

You must go to district court to file any of these cases.

How to File for DHS Child Support

To apply for child support through DHS, go to this website fill out the form. 

What Happens When a Child Support Case is Opened?

First, DHS will refer the case to one of its district offices. If there has been a prior child support order filed in an Oklahoma district court, DHS will refer the case to the district office serving the county where the court order was entered. If there has been no prior child support order filed in an Oklahoma district court, DHS will refer the case to the office serving the county where you, the payee, live. If circumstances are appropriate, DHS may refer the case to an Indian tribal child support office.

The district office will then set a date for a hearing. DHS will send you notice of this hearing date; DHS will also serve notice of the hearing date on the non-custodial parent.

The Process of a Child Support Case in Oklahoma

The hearing will be held at the district office where the case is assigned. Some hearings are conducted by telephone or by videoconference. When you go to the hearing, there will be a judge present. This judge is not an elected or appointed state judge; rather, he is an “administrative law judge” who is employed by DHS. At the hearing, an attorney representing the state will be there. You may also choose to hire your own attorney and bring your attorney to the hearing. If you want an attorney, you should hire an attorney, because the state’s attorney does not represent you, but represents the state of Oklahoma. The noncustodial parent may also appear at the hearing, and may also be represented by an attorney. (Because you and the non-custodial parent may be in the same room, the situation may become tense. There are security officers at DHS facilities; if you feel that you may need additional security officers, notify DHS in advance.)

The rules of procedure for DHS child support proceedings can be found here , and here . Some of these rules are complicated, and can be difficult to navigate and understand. For a simple, short, explanation, free of legalese, about the way DHS administrative hearings are conducted, watch this video here:

https://videohub.oucpm.org/2012/08/08/your-day-in-court/

At the hearing, each side will be allowed to present evidence. When all evidence has been presented, the judge will make a decision as to who is to pay child support, and how much. The judge will also determine if there is any child support arrearage, and how this arrearage is to be paid. If the noncustodial parent does not appear, the judge will grant you a default judgment, and order that the noncustodial parent must pay a certain amount of child support.

The judge will computer the amount of child support, according to a state-mandated formula. This formula takes into account many factors, including the income of each parent, the number of days the child spends with each parent, and child care expenses. To calculate the amount of child support you should receive, click here ; this link directs you to the same program that Oklahoma child support judges use to determine the amount of child support.

After the judge determines the amount of child support, DHS will then file the child support order in district court. If there has been a previous district court order, DHS will file the order in the county where the previous court order was entered. If there has not been a previous district court order, DHS will file the order in the county where you live (or, if you live out of state, the county where the noncustodial parent lives.)

If you, or the non-custodial parent, or the state’s attorney, disagree with the administrative law judge’s ruling, then, the aggrieved party may appeal the case to district court. The appellant must file the appeal within thirty days of the administrative law judge’s decision. If there was a previous district court order, the appellant must file the appeal in the district court that entered the order. If there was no previous district court order, the appellant must file the appeal in the county where you live. If there was no previous district court order, and you live out of state, the appellant must the appeal in the county where the non-custodial parent lives.

On appeal, the district court will hear your case, and decide whether to affirm, or reverse, the administrative law judge’s ruling. If either party disagrees with the district court’s ruling on appeal, the party may appeal to the Oklahoma Supreme Court. To see how to appeal to the state Supreme Court, click here .

Enforcing a child support order

In all cases where DHS provides child support services, the payor must send the payments to DHS’s Centralized Support Registry. DHS will then forward those funds to you.

Most child support orders contain an “income assignment”; this is a provision stating that the non-custodial parent’s employer (or any other entity that owes money to the non-custodial parent) is to withhold the amount of child support from the non-custodial parent’s salary. The employer must then pay this amount to DHS’s Centralized Support Registry. DHS will then send this amount to you. 

Once DHS files the child support order in district court, the order may be enforced just as any other court order. Penalties for non-payment include:

A court may garnish the non-custodial parent’s wages;

A court may fine the non-custodial parent, or sentence him to prison;

Until November 1, 2020, A court, or DHS, may revoke the non-custodial parent’s driver’s license, and any other professional license the non-custodial parent holds. After November 1, 2020, the state will not be able to revoke a driver's or professional license as punishment for nonpayment of child support; however, the state will still be allowed to revoke the recreational license of a parent who does not pay child support.

The Department of State may deny the non-custodial parent a passport.

For a detailed list of the possible punishments for not paying child support, click here and scroll down to “What Happens If You Don’t Pay Child Support?”

A Word of Caution – You May Find Yourself in Custody or Visitation Proceedings If You File for Child Support

It is true that in child support hearings, DHS cannot decide custody or visitation. However, many times, when a custodial parent files an application for DHS child support services, the non-custodial parent goes to district court and files for custody or visitation. So, if you file for child support through DHS, you may end up in a custody or visitation dispute as well.

Many parents can handle DHS child support cases without lawyers. However, if you are still puzzled about your rights and duties under the state child support system, it may be wise for you to consult an attorney. The Persaud Law Office is available to assist you in child support cases. Contact us today .

How to Enforce Oklahoma Child Support Through Garnishment

Contact an experienced attorney when assistance needed.

Video Transcribed: Enforcing child support in Oklahoma through an income assignment. I’m Tulsa attorney James Wirth, and we’re about to talk about how to garnish the obligor to get your child support paid.

All right, so in Oklahoma, there’s a lot of different ways to enforce child support. You can do a contempt, you can take a driver’s license, you could put a hold on a passport, you can take some garnish a bank account, you can take money from a tax return, a lot of different things you can do.

But one of the best ways, if you’ve got a parent or other person that owes you child support that is working where their payroll and goes through, whether it’s in Oklahoma or whether it’s working in another state, that’s the best way to enforce child support at least initially.

So the law allows you to get an income assignment in place, which is just a fancy phrase in child support for a garnishment. You can get that in place at the time an order is entered. You don’t have to wait for there to be in arrearage.

You can get that done in the first place. And as long as you know where the party is working, then you can fill out that appropriate paperwork. That’s usually not a problem at all to get the judge to sign off on it.

You serve it on the employer, and then if the employer doesn’t garnish those wages, they’re actually eligible or they’re actually on the hook for what they failed to garnish. So employers are generally pretty good at making sure that gets entered properly, it gets paid properly out of their payroll.

If they are not working or they’re constantly changing jobs, or they get paid under the table, it may not be the best option, but where they’re working and they go through regular payroll, it’s probably the best option and there’s a few good things about it.

So first off, normally when you get a judgment in place for something other than child support, there’s a maximum. It’s called an exemption on how much of their current earnings you can take. So for a regular debt, that exemption is 75% of their income.

So you can only take 25%. That’s not the case with child support. With child support, it’s anywhere from 50% to 65%, depending if they’re supporting other people like a spouse or other children, and depending on whether the 12 weeks or more behind.

So if they’re not supporting anybody else in their household and they’re 12 weeks or more behind on the child support, you can garnish up to 65% of their disposable income, which is a lot.

The other thing is child support obligations are automatically judgments. So you don’t have to go to court and say, “Oh, he’s paid this much. He’s in arrears this much.” It’s automatically a judgment. So you don’t have to go back to court on that all of the time.

So that can make the process a little bit easier. The best thing is that when you’re garnished for other debts or your other people are being garnished for other debts, those garnishments have to be renewed every six months.

Child support garnishments or income assignments do not have to be renewed, which makes it all a simple process for collecting child support.

So if you’ve got child support that’s owed to you, you want to talk about collecting through an income assignment or garnishment or through other mechanisms, you can contact me or somebody in my office. Go into makelaweasy.com.

What is Child Support and When does it Occur in Oklahoma?

In Oklahoma, to preserve the children’s well-being and lessen any financial suffering after divorce or separation, the non-custodial parent will make financial provisions to the other parent. This system is referred to as child support. Two entities ensure that child support orders are followed by employing punitive measures; the court and The Child Support Services (CSS) division of the Oklahoma Department of Human Services (DHS). The DHS is the state agency that manages family and welfare matters in the state of Oklahoma. The CSS division has the authority to initiate legal action against violators of a child support order and even withhold the violator’s earnings.

Records that are considered public may be accessible from some third-party websites. These websites often make searching more straightforward, as they are not limited by geographic location, and search engines on these sites may help when starting a search for a specific or multiple records. To begin using such a search engine on a third-party or government website, interested parties usually must provide:

• The name of the person involved in the record, unless said person is a juvenile
• The location or assumed location of the document or person involved

Third-party sites are independent of government sources and are not sponsored by these government agencies. Because of this, record availability on third-party websites may vary.

What is Oklahoma Child Support?

Child support in Oklahoma, under § 43–112 of Title 43 of the Oklahoma Statutes, refers to payment from one separated parent to the other to support the expenses of catering to a child’s need. The remission is periodic and continues until the child is recognized as independent by the law.

What Does Child Support Cover in Oklahoma?

The coverage of child support in Oklahoma according to the Schedule of Basic Child Support Obligations include housing, food, transportation, basic public educational expenses, clothing, and entertainment.

What is the Average Child Support Payment in Oklahoma?

Oklahoma determines child support payments using the Schedule of Basic Child Support Obligations. This guideline considers various factors of each child support case to assign the child support amount payable. These factors include the gross income of each parent, the number of children involved, and the residential situation of the children with each parent. Thus, the amount set as child support for each family is different. The minimum amount set as child support is $50 for families with a combined gross income of $50. The maximum amount listed in the guideline is $2955 for a family with a combined gross income of $15,000, and six children. The court determines the child support for families that exceed this gross income.

How do I apply for Child Support in Oklahoma?

To apply for child support in Oklahoma, interested persons must complete the Application for Child Support Services Form 03EN001E can be downloaded or completed online. To request an application via mail, contact the child support care service center; OKC metro area only (405) 522-CARE (522–2273), Tulsa metro area only (918) 295–3500, other areas call toll free 1–800–522–2922.

Oklahoma City, OK 73124–8843

Families seeking Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF) benefits or non-TANF Medicaid benefits are referred to OCSS for child support services. Interested parties are not expected to fill or send an Application for Child Support Services. To individuals keen on applying for “locate only” services, the Locate Only Rights & Responsibilities (Form 03EN007E) must be filled and completed.

Upon receipt of the application, the application will be assessed for proper action and assigned to a child support office. Incomplete applications are thus returned for additional information.

How Do I Get Out of Paying Child Support in Oklahoma?

The child support service can review support orders requested by the law. After an administrative hearing, an individual can appeal the order in a law court before an administrative order is entered to authorize a child support order. This appeal to the district court must be filed within the time frame set, which is generally 30 days in Oklahoma.

Any of the parents may request a review of the order through a Pro Se Modification process. The Oklahoma DHS CSS CARE Center at 1–800–522–2922 can be reached to request a Pro Se Modification packet.

What is Back Child Support in Oklahoma?

Back child support, arrears, arrearage, delinquent child support payment, or past-due support are altogether the terms used to mean the aggregate sum of unpaid support payments that have accumulated under a support order.

Most often than not, the collection of delinquent child support payments in Oklahoma is dealt with by deducting the delinquent parent’s wages right until the payments are current again. This strategy is often called an income assignment, and the Oklahoma Department of Human Services or the local District Attorney’s office oversees the process.

How do I Get Back Child Support Paid in Oklahoma?

There are various strategies child support services can employ to implement the support orders and receive back child support. To enforce the support order, the child support service can order income withholding, intercept federal and state tax refunds and other federal payments, seize properties, or file a contempt citation in the district court, which may incorporate jail time.

The custodial parent in denial can request a judge to enforce the child support order and also include additional orders that might help in collecting child support. Alternatively, parents can visit the Oklahoma Department of Human Services website to locate the support enforcement agency in various counties to request an order.

Is there a Oklahoma Statutes of Limitation on Child Support?

In Oklahoma, a non-custodial parent is not subjected to a Statute of Limitations.

Nonetheless, Oklahoma accommodates an interest rate of 10% per year on all the accrued back child support.

Oklahoma plans to spend billions on education. Here's how the money might be used

OKLAHOMA CITY — The Oklahoma Legislature plans to boost funding for K-12 classrooms, college facilities and CareerTech programs in an education budget agreement nearing $5.6 billion.

The chief driver of public school funding, the education funding formula, would go up by $25 million in Fiscal Year 2025, should the agreement be signed into law.

This is expected to be the second consecutive increase to Oklahoma public school funding. Last year, lawmakers  added $500 million to the funding formula , including $286 million in teacher pay raises, along with other multi-million-dollar initiatives.

The FY 2025 agreement, which lawmakers decided on Wednesday , sets the Oklahoma State Department of Education’s budget at $3.86 billion. On its face, it looks like a cut from the agency’s previous $3.97 billion appropriation, but the difference is accounted for in the way money for three-year pilot programs was spread over multiple fiscal years.

What education proposals did (and didn't) make the Oklahoma budget

Not all legislative priorities made the final cut this year.

The state Senate pushed for a one-time stipend of $2,500 for all support staff working in public schools, like cafeteria workers, bus drivers and custodians. The House wasn’t on board with the $99.67 million expense.

The $25 million increase to the funding formula was a compromise, said Senate President Pro Tem Greg Treat, R-Oklahoma City.

“We continued our record investment,” Treat said. “We didn’t let up the pedal on that.”

Last year’s education package included new funding for six weeks of teacher maternity leave. The budget agreement this year creates a revolving fund separate from the funding formula for maternity leave, with $2.5 million put into it annually and a one-time supplemental addition of $2.3 million.

The budget also dedicates funds for future teachers still attending college, with $2.65 million for paid student teaching and $8.5 million for the  Inspired to Teach scholarship incentives .

A resolution over last year's teacher pay raises

The agreement also resolves a  conflict between the House and Senate over an issue with last year’s educator pay raise .

The Legislature funneled money for teacher salary increases through the education funding formula, but about 40 school districts risked being left out. These districts earn enough in local tax revenue that they receive no state aid, meaning the funds for teacher pay raises wouldn’t reach them.

Leaders of the two legislative chambers disagreed on how to resolve the issue, but they settled on the House’s preference for a one-time fund of $16.1 million to reimburse the affected schools. As it stands now, the districts would have to come up with the funding themselves in future fiscal years once the one-time fund expires. 

Lawmakers intend to put $240 million into new engineering and science facilities at the state’s two largest colleges, the University of Oklahoma and Oklahoma State University. Other higher education institutions will get a piece of a $350 million fund dedicated to addressing deferred maintenance across multiple state agencies.

Treat said the budget agreement is “making sure we meet those needs” for improved maintenance.

“In our state, we’ve been good at building things,” Treat said. “We haven’t always been good about maintaining those. And so, it’s a lot easier to get support on cutting a ribbon than repairing an air conditioner unit.”

In an attempt to shorten waitlists and admit more students, the FY 2025 budget adds $27.6 million to meet the growing demand for courses at CareerTech centers. The agency informed lawmakers earlier this year its enrollment had grown by 9.5% and had a waitlist of about 7,400 students.

CareerTech state director Brent Haken requested extra funding to hire more instructors for high-demand vocational programs, which feed into the Oklahoma’s labor force.

“Some may see it as growing government,” Haken said of the request at a Feb. 14 meeting with a Senate budget subcommittee. “What I see it as is it’s growing Oklahoma. It’s growing our opportunity to do better in this state to recruit businesses. It’s growing opportunity for people to have great lives, to build hope in their lives and to raise their families.”

Here's how much money it takes to be in the upper class in each state

• Here's how much you need to make in each state to be upper class — and what percentage of each state is.
• The upper class in Washington, DC, starts at $202,000, while in Mississippi, it's $105,400.
• More than 21% of DC residents are upper class, compared with just 14.4% in Alaska.

This map shows just how much Americans in each state need to make to be considered in the upper class — and what percentage of residents fall into that demographic.

A Business Insider analysis of 2022 US Census Bureau data, the latest year for which data is available, has found that 21.1% of people in Washington, DC , are considered upper class, with household incomes above $202,000. Meanwhile, just 14.4% of Alaskan households are upper class, earning above $176,000.

That's based on the Pew Research Center 's definition of upper class, which is earning at least double a state's median income . This means that states with households with more income dispersion may have more people in the upper class, even with a higher income cutoff.

The Census Bureau notes that the real median household income nationally was $74,580 in 2022, ranging on a state level from $52,700 to $101,000. This means the upper class in one state could still be considered middle class in another.

Even so, being upper class may not feel like swimming in wealth. For instance, some HENRYs — high earners, not rich yet — previously told BI that even with household incomes clearly landing them in the upper class, they were still worried about retirement, buying a home, having kids, or going on vacations.

DC has the highest cutoff, followed by New Jersey at nearly $192,700 per household. Maryland, Massachusetts, Hawaii, California, and Washington all have cutoffs in the range of $180,000 to $190,000 per household.

When looking at the share of households in the upper class, the top 10 shifts. New York has the second-highest share in the upper class at nearly 21%, even though the cutoff is $159,100. Louisiana, with a cutoff of more than $110,800, was ranked third.

Nearly every state in the bottom 10 for upper-class cutoffs was in the South. To be upper class in Mississippi — which 19.3% of the population is — households must make a bit more than $105,400. West Virginia comes in at $108,650, while Louisiana, Arkansas, Kentucky, Oklahoma, Alabama, and New Mexico are all below $120,000.

The list of states with the lowest shares of people in the upper class also doesn't correspond. Alaska, Utah, and Idaho have below 15% of their populations in the upper class, while Wyoming and Delaware are in the 15% range.
