For the new material in this analysis, the Center surveyed 6,034 U.S. adults from July 5-17, 2022. This included 4,996 respondents from the Center\u2019s American Trends Panel (ATP), an online survey panel that is recruited through national, random sampling of residential addresses. This way nearly all U.S. adults have a chance of selection. It also included an oversample of 1,038 respondents from Ipsos\u2019 KnowledgePanel. The survey is weighted to be representative of the U.S. adult population by gender, race, ethnicity, partisan affiliation, education and other categories.

Three-in-ten Americans whose household income falls below $30,000 a year say they use cash for all or almost all of their purchases in a typical week. That share drops to 20% among those in households earning $30,000 to $49,999 and 6% among those living in households earning $50,000 or more a year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Even so, growing shares of Americans across income groups are relying less on cash than in previous years. This is especially the case among the highest earners: Roughly six-in-ten adults whose annual household income is $100,000 or more (59%) say they make none of their typical weekly purchases using cash, up from 43% in 2018 and 36% in 2015.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are also differences by race and ethnicity in cash usage. Roughly a quarter of Black adults (26%) and 21% of Hispanic adults say that all or almost all of their purchases in a typical week are paid for using cash, compared with 12% of White adults who say the same.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignright size-full is-resized\"><a rel=\"attachment wp-att-11894\" href=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/short-reads\/2022\/10\/05\/more-americans-are-joining-the-cashless-economy\/ft_2022-10-05_cashless-economy_03-png\/\"><img data-dominant-color=\"cdd3d2\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #cdd3d2;\" decoding=\"async\" sizes=\"(max-width: 840px) 100vw, 840px\" src=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2022\/10\/ft_2022.10.05_cashless-economy_03.png\" alt=\"A chart showing that about six-in-ten Americans say they always try to have cash on hand, but this varies widely by age.\" class=\"wp-image-11894 not-transparent\" width=\"420\" srcset=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2022\/10\/ft_2022.10.05_cashless-economy_03.png 840w, https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2022\/10\/ft_2022.10.05_cashless-economy_03.png?resize=300,266 300w, https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2022\/10\/ft_2022.10.05_cashless-economy_03.png?resize=768,682 768w, https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2022\/10\/ft_2022.10.05_cashless-economy_03.png?resize=456,405 456w, https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2022\/10\/ft_2022.10.05_cashless-economy_03.png?resize=200,178 200w, https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2022\/10\/ft_2022.10.05_cashless-economy_03.png?resize=260,231 260w, https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2022\/10\/ft_2022.10.05_cashless-economy_03.png?resize=310,275 310w, https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2022\/10\/ft_2022.10.05_cashless-economy_03.png?resize=420,373 420w, https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2022\/10\/ft_2022.10.05_cashless-economy_03.png?resize=640,568 640w, https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2022\/10\/ft_2022.10.05_cashless-economy_03.png?resize=740,657 740w, https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2022\/10\/ft_2022.10.05_cashless-economy_03.png?resize=160,142 160w, https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2022\/10\/ft_2022.10.05_cashless-economy_03.png?resize=320,284 320w\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Even though cash is playing less of role in people\u2019s weekly purchases, the survey also finds that a majority of Americans do try to have cash on hand. About six-in-ten adults (58%) say they try to make sure they always have cash on hand, while 42% say they do not really worry much about whether they have cash with them since there are other ways to pay for things. These shares have <a href=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/short-reads\/2018\/12\/12\/more-americans-are-making-no-weekly-purchases-with-cash\/\">shifted slightly through the years<\/a>. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As was true in <a href=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/internet\/2016\/12\/19\/new-modes-of-payment-and-the-cashless-economy\/\">previous surveys<\/a>, Americans\u2019 habits related to carrying cash vary by age.
