Why is my deduction lower than the standard?

Right now it says my standard deduction is $6,132. I am a dependent and my income was $7,101.

The standard deduction amount for an individual who may be claimed as a dependent by another taxpayer cannot exceed the greater of $1,100 or the sum of $350 and the individual’s earned income (not to exceed the regular standard deduction amount).
