Depends on the bike, and how you ride. Some of my bikes have the handlebars below the saddle, others have it above.
By the way, you should adjust the saddle so that you get nearly complete leg extension at the bottom, not so that it's an arbitrary position compared to the handlebars.
Can you see the minimum insertion line on your seatpost?
