Everyone in the Toronto analysis ignores dual incomes. Yeah, the median income isn't that great. But for those who are in couples? Working backwords from after tax income, it is about 120K-140K a year median.

But your source says that the median family (aka household, so it factors in both earners) income for non-seniors is only $93k, and with kids it's only $105k? Where are you getting $120k-140k from? Households where both earners are high income professionals?

That is the after tax income. I am converting it to the gross income that people usually use for comparing salaries.

Ah okay my bad, I missed the part about "Working backwords from after tax income".

yep

When I've seen measures of median income it's usually median family income.
