Best Answer

According to the latest US Census Bureau tables (2008, http://www.census.gov/hhes/www/cpstables/032009/rdcall/1_001.htm):

The median American income is

$50,303

(before taxes and excluding capital gains).

The mean (average) American income is

$68,424

due to extremely wealthy individuals in the upper quintile pulling the average up.

This information is for HOUSEHOLD income not INDIVIDUAL income. The individual income is a little more than half the household income. The link given above says this. The individual income for people over 18 is under 30k/yr.
