This news release also presents revised estimates of wages and salaries, personal taxes, and
contributions for government social insurance for January through March 2006 (first quarter). These
estimates reflect newly available first-quarter wage and salary tabulations from the quarterly census
of employment and wages from the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

NOTE.--Monthly estimates are expressed at seasonally adjusted annual rates, unless otherwise specified. Monthto-month dollar changes are differences between these published estimates. Month-to-month percent changes are
calculated from unrounded data and are not annualized. “Real” estimates are in chained (2000) dollars.

Personal outlays and personal saving
Personal outlays -- PCE, personal interest payments, and personal current transfer payments
increased $79.7 billion in July, compared with an increase of $41.0 billion in June. PCE increased
$78.7 billion, compared with an increase of $36.6 billion.
Personal saving -- DPI less personal outlays -- was a negative $83.5 billion in July, compared
with a negative $67.6 billion in June. Personal saving as a percentage of disposable personal income
was a negative 0.9 percent in July, compared with a negative 0.7 percent in June. Negative personal
saving reflects personal outlays that exceed disposable personal income. Saving from current
income may be near zero or negative when outlays are financed by borrowing (including borrowing
financed through credit cards or home equity loans), by selling investments or other assets, or by
using savings from previous periods. For more information, see the FAQs on “Personal Saving” on
BEA’s Web site. 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 (which helped finance negative saving), go to
http://www.bea.gov/bea/dn/nipaweb/Nipa-Frb.asp.

Real DPI and real PCE
Real DPI -- DPI adjusted to remove price changes -- increased 0.3 percent in July, compared
with an increase of 0.4 percent in June.
Real PCE -- PCE adjusted to remove price changes -- increased 0.5 percent in July, compared
with an increase of 0.3 percent in June. Purchases of durable goods increased 1.6 percent, compared
with an increase of 1.0 percent. Purchases of motor vehicles and parts accounted for most of the
increases in July and in June. Purchases of nondurable goods increased 0.4 percent in July,
compared with an increase of 0.2 percent in June. Purchases of services increased 0.4 percent,
compared with an increase of 0.1 percent.
PCE price index -- The PCE price index increased 0.3 percent in July, compared with an
increase of 0.1 percent in June. The PCE price index, excluding food and energy, increased 0.1
percent, compared with an increase of 0.2 percent.

Estimates for personal income and DPI have been revised for January through June;
estimates for PCE have been revised for April through June. Changes in personal income, currentdollar and chained (2000) dollar DPI, and current-dollar and chained (2000) dollar PCE for May and
June -- revised and as published in last month's release -- are shown below.
For January through June, the revisions to wages and salaries reflected the incorporation of
the most recently available BLS tabulations of first-quarter private wages and salaries from the
quarterly census of employment and wages. Wages and salaries were revised up for all six months.
Revisions to personal current taxes and to contributions for government social insurance reflected
the revisions to wages and salaries.
