Release Information
For the U.S., personal income mainly measures the income received by households from employment, self-employment investments, and transfer payments. It also includes small amounts for expenses of nonprofit organizations and income of certain fiduciary activities. Disposable personal income refers to personal income after the payment of income, estate, certain other taxes, and payments to governments. Personal saving is the residual of disposable personal income minus consumer outlays. The saving rate is personal savings as a percent of disposable personal income.

Data for the components of personal income are obtained from several government and non-government sources. Wages are based on the monthly employment payroll survey, and social security, while unemployment benefit figures are based on monthly reports from the Social Security Administration and Department of Labor. Stock dividend income is derived from the Census Bureau’s Quarterly Financial Report and from corporate quarterly reports to stockholders.
The constant-dollar estimate of disposable personal income equals the current-dollar figure divided by the implicit price deflator for PCE (personal consumption expenditures).
In late 2020, the BEA published tables showing the effects of selected Federal Pandemic response programs on Personal Income. Several legislative acts were signed into law due to the COVID-19 pandemic including the CARES Act. These acts establish temporary programs and provide funding to support individuals, communities and businesses that were affected by the pandemic.
