How this chart was made
  • The figures are Statistics Norway's own, from table 12558: the highest value in each decile of household income after tax, for the whole country. We have not calculated them.
  • Households are split into ten equally large groups by rising income. The 5th tenth has the highest income that half of households are at or below.
  • The 10th tenth has no upper limit, and Statistics Norway publishes no value for it.
  • Household income is not adjusted for how many people live in the household. Student households and children under 18 living alone are excluded.

Statistics Norway's notes on the table

  • Student households and children below the age of 18 years who are living alone, are excluded.
  • The deciles group all households in Norway into 10 equally large groups by rising income. The highest value in each decile is thus the same across different geographical distributions.
  • : = Confidential. Figures are not published so as to avoid identifying persons or companies.
