6 figure salary = how much money

momofmanyinthemitten

DH and I were just talking about how much people assume 6 figures is. When you hear that someone makes 6 figures, what is the range that you assume the salary is?

$100,000-999,999 lol.

Really though, if I know what their profession is that narrows it down.

Yeah, this.  But like everything, bigger is always better.

This.  But I think even though people know this is technically true, their mind conjures up a lot more.  The lowest of the 6 figures, in a HCOL area, isn't the wealth people tend to think it is.  Not by a long shot.

This, since "6 figures" means 6 numbers make up their salary dollar amount, not including cents.

I mostly assume $100,000....plus I listen to the way the person says it

Like "He, for sure, makes 6 figures!"  $250,000 +

or " I think she is making 6 figures now" $100,000

Well, six figures means $100,000-999,999. But it totally depends on the context. It's usually obvious if someone is trying to imply that someone is rich or makes a lot of money. And $100,000 doesn't make you rich, so I would guess more than that.

ETA: on the other hand, if it's obvious someone is trying make themselves sound rich by saying "6 figures", I'd assume they're "only" making $100,000.

Anyone that gets paid at least $100K/year (single person) = making 6 figures in my book.
