The "Top Fifth" and "Fourth Fifth" categories have incomes of €120,000 and over, and €90,000-119,999 respectively. Adding these two categories together gives a total of 40% of households earning above €90,000. Therefore, the percentage of households earning above €60,000 is higher than 40%. The next category, the "Middle Fifth", has incomes ranging from €60,000-89,999, which means that some of these households earn above €60,000.
