six figures
Substantial annual income
Six figures refers to any number from 100,000 to 999,999—that is, a number with six digits.
The phrase almost always describes annual income or salary: She's making six figures now.
Someone who earns six figures has crossed a threshold of financial success, though the range spans from barely comfortable to wealthy depending on location and lifestyle.
The pattern extends to seven figures, eight figures, and so on for increasingly large amounts.
