In June 2023, people with an household income of under 30,000 U.S. dollars had the highest buy now, pay later (BNPL) usage rates. The relationship between the usage of BNPL and household income was inversely proportional. As household incomes increased, the share of respondents who claimed to have used BNPL decreased.

Supplementary notes
The figures do not add up to 100 because they show the percentage of people in each of those situations that used BNPL. For example, if 37 percent of people with 30+ day delinquencies used BNPL, that means that 63 percent of people in those situations did not use BNPL.
