Abstract scale
Million-dollar blocks
Each block is exactly one million dollars. A round unit makes the count easier to picture.
Comparisons say what a number equals on paper, never what someone could actually buy.
The formula
Each result divides a person's central estimate by the reference value below, then rounds to three significant digits. Effective date of the reference value: . Review cadence: annual.
