<p>I'm looking for the US household distribution of after-tax after-transfers income by household size, at a finer grain than quintiles. CPS has total money income (<a href="https://www.census.gov/cps/data/incdef.html" rel="noreferrer">after-transfer</a>) in ~$2,500 increments, but  I can't find an after-tax version. Do the full census, BLS, or think tanks estimate this?</p>

# Distribution of US after-tax money income by household size

(Asked by: username_0 on 2017-03-24)

I'm looking for the US household distribution of after-tax after-transfers income by household size, at a finer grain than quintiles. CPS has total money income ([after-transfer](https://www.census.gov/cps/data/incdef.html)) in ~$2,500 increments, but I can't find an after-tax version. Do the full census, BLS, or think tanks estimate this?
