Personal income in November and December was boosted by accelerated and special dividend
payments to persons and by accelerated bonus payments and other irregular pay in private wages and
salaries in anticipation of changes in individual income tax rates. Personal income in December was
also boosted by lump-sum social security benefit payments. In October, personal income reflected
work interruptions caused by Hurricane Sandy. Excluding these special factors, discussed more fully
below, DPI increased $44.1 billion, or 0.4 percent, in December, following an increase of $66.5
billion, or 0.6 percent, in November.
Wages and salaries
Private wage and salary disbursements increased $44.0 billion in December, compared with an
increase of $61.4 billion in November. Private wages and salaries was boosted by $30.0 billion (at an
annual rate) in December and by $15.0 billion (at an annual rate) in November for accelerated
payments of bonuses or other types of irregular pay. This type of irregular payment is not accounted
for in the primary monthly source data for wages and salaries. In October, work interruptions caused
by Hurricane Sandy reduced wages and salaries by $18.2 billion (at an annual rate). Goods-producing
industries' payrolls increased $8.4 billion in December, compared with an increase of $7.5 billion in
November; manufacturing payrolls increased $4.8 billion, compared with an increase of $5.2 billion.
Services-producing industries' payrolls increased $35.6 billion, compared with an increase of $53.9
billion. Government wage and salary disbursements increased $0.9 billion, compared with an
increase of $0.1 billion.
Other personal income
Supplements to wages and salaries increased $6.4 billion in December, compared with an increase
of $7.1 billion in November.
Proprietors' income increased $9.3 billion in December, compared with an increase of $12.2
billion in November. Farm proprietors' income increased $1.0 billion, compared with an increase of
$1.1 billion. Nonfarm proprietors' income increased $8.2 billion, compared with an increase of $11.2
billion.
Rental income of persons increased $2.0 billion in December, compared with an increase of $3.7
billion in November. Personal income receipts on assets (personal interest income plus personal
dividend income) increased $286.6 billion, compared with an increase of $51.8 billion. Personal
dividend income was boosted by $291.0 billion (at an annual rate) in December and by $25.8 billion
(at an annual rate) in November, which reflected accelerated and special dividend payments in
anticipation of changes in individual income tax rates. For additional information, see FAQ on “How
would special and accelerated dividends affect the national income and product accounts in the fourth
quarter 2012?” at www.bea.gov.

Personal current transfer receipts increased $8.9 billion in December, compared with an increase
of $6.9 billion in November. Within personal current transfer receipts in December, government
social benefits to persons included retroactive social security benefit payments of $7.0 billion (at an
annual rate), resulting from a recalculation of the earnings base underlying the benefits of recent
retirees.
Contributions for government social insurance -- a subtraction in calculating personal income -increased $5.6 billion in December, compared with an increase of $7.5 billion in November.
Personal current taxes and disposable personal income
Personal current taxes increased $21.1 billion in December, compared with an increase of $10.3
billion in November. Disposable personal income (DPI) -- personal income less personal current
taxes -- increased $331.3 billion, or 2.7 percent, in December, compared with an increase of $125.5
billion, or 1.0 percent, in November.
Personal outlays and personal saving
Personal outlays -- PCE, personal interest payments, and personal current transfer payments -increased $21.0 billion in December, compared with an increase of $40.2 billion in November. PCE
increased $22.6 billion, compared with an increase of $41.6 billion.
Personal saving -- DPI less personal outlays -- was $805.2 billion in December, compared with
$495.0 billion in November. The personal saving rate -- personal saving as a percentage of disposable
personal income -- was 6.5 percent in December, compared with 4.1 percent in November. For a
comparison of personal saving in BEA’s national income and product accounts with personal saving
in the Federal Reserve Board’s flow of funds accounts and data on changes in net worth, go to
http://www.bea.gov/national/nipaweb/Nipa-Frb.asp.
Real DPI, real PCE and price index
Real DPI -- DPI adjusted to remove price changes -- increased 2.8 percent in December,
compared with an increase of 1.3 percent in November.
Real PCE -- PCE adjusted to remove price changes -- increased 0.2 percent in December,
compared with an increase of 0.6 percent in November. Purchases of durable goods increased 1.3
percent, compared with an increase of 2.9 percent. Purchases of motor vehicles and parts accounted
for about half of the increases in December and in November. Purchases of nondurable goods
increased 0.3 percent in December, compared with an increase of 0.1 percent in November.
Purchases of services increased 0.1 percent, compared with an increase of 0.4 percent.
