COVID-19 Impact on July 2021 Personal Income and Outlays
The estimate for July personal income and outlays reflected the continued economic
recovery, reopening of establishments, and government response related to the COVID-19
pandemic. Government social benefits increased in July, reflecting new advance Child Tax
Credit payments authorized by the American Rescue Plan. The full economic effects of the
COVID-19 pandemic cannot be quantified in the personal income and outlays estimate
because the impacts are generally embedded in source data and cannot be separately
identified. For more information, see Effects of Selected Federal Pandemic Response
Programs on Personal Income.

The increase in personal income in July primarily reflected increases in government social benefits and
compensation of employees (table 3). Within government social benefits, an increase in "other" social
benefits (more than accounted for by advance Child Tax Credit payments as authorized by the American
Rescue Plan) was partly offset by a decrease in unemployment insurance, reflecting a decrease in
payments from the Pandemic Unemployment Compensation program. Within compensation, the
increase was primarily in private wages and salaries, reflecting Bureau of Labor Statistics Current
Employment Statistics.
The $42.2 billion increase in current dollar PCE in July reflected an increase of $102.6 billion in spending
for services and a decrease of $60.4 billion in spending for goods (table 3). Within services, increases
were widespread across all spending categories, led by food services and accommodations. Within
goods, decreases were widespread across most spending categories, led by motor vehicles and parts,
recreational goods and vehicles, as well as clothing and footwear. These decreases were partly offset by
an increase in gasoline and other energy goods. Detailed information on monthly PCE spending can be
found on Table 2.3.5U.
Personal outlays increased $45.4 billion in July (table 3). Personal saving was $1.72 trillion in July and
the personal saving rate—personal saving as a percentage of disposable personal income—was 9.6
percent (table 1).
The PCE price index for July increased 4.2 percent from one year ago, reflecting increases in both goods
and services (table 11). Energy prices increased 23.6 percent while food prices increased 2.4 percent.
Excluding food and energy, the PCE price index for July increased 3.6 percent from one year ago.

Updates to Personal Income and Outlays
Estimates have been updated for January through June. For January through March, estimates of
personal taxes were revised based on updated data from the Treasury Department’s Office of Tax
Analysis. Revised and previously published changes from the preceding month for current-dollar
personal income, and for current-dollar and chained (2012) dollar DPI and PCE, are shown below.

Statistical conventions
Annual rates. Monthly and quarterly values are expressed
at seasonally-adjusted annual rates (SAAR). Dollar changes
are calculated as the difference between these SAAR
values. For detail, see the FAQ “Why does BEA publish
estimates at annual rates?”
Month-to-month percent changes are calculated from
unrounded data and are not annualized.
Quarter-to-quarter percent changes are calculated from
unrounded data and are displayed at annual rates. For
detail, see the FAQ “How is average annual growth
calculated?” and “Why does BEA publish percent changes
in quarterly series at annual rates?”

Definitions
Personal income is the income received by, or on behalf of,
all persons from all sources: from participation as laborers
in production, from owning a home or business, from the
ownership of financial assets, and from government and
business in the form of transfers. It includes income from
domestic sources as well as the rest of world. It does not
include realized or unrealized capital gains or losses.

Quantities and prices. Quantities, or “real” volume
measures, and prices are expressed as index numbers with
a specified reference year equal to 100 (currently 2012).
Quantity and price indexes are calculated using a Fisherchained weighted formula that incorporates weights from
two adjacent periods (months for monthly data, quarters
for quarterly data and annuals for annual data). For details
on the calculation of quantity and price indexes, see
Chapter 4: Estimating Methods in the NIPA Handbook.

Disposable personal income is the income available to
persons for spending or saving. It is equal to personal
income less personal current taxes.

Chained-dollar values are calculated by multiplying the
quantity index by the current dollar value in the reference
year (2012) and then dividing by 100. Percent changes
calculated from real quantity indexes and chained-dollar
levels are conceptually the same; any differences are due
to rounding. Chained-dollar values are not additive
because the relative weights for a given period differ from
those of the reference year. In tables that display chaineddollar values, a "residual" line shows the difference
between the sum of detailed chained-dollar series and its
corresponding aggregate.

Personal consumption expenditures (PCE) is the value of
the goods and services purchased by, or on the behalf of,
“persons” who reside in the United States.
Personal outlays is the sum of PCE, personal interest
payments, and personal current transfer payments.
Personal saving is personal income less personal outlays
and personal current taxes.
The personal saving rate is personal saving as a percentage
of disposable personal income.
Current-dollar estimates are valued in the prices of the
period when the transactions occurred—that is, at “market
value.” Also referred to as “nominal estimates” or as
“current-price estimates.”

r Revised. Revisions include changes to series affected by the incorporation of revised wage and salary estimates for the first quarter of 2021.
1. Includes actual employer contributions and actuarially imputed employer contributions to reflect benefits accrued by defined benefit pension plan participants through service to employers in the current period.
2. Social security benefits include old-age, survivors, and disability insurance benefits that are distributed from the federal old-age and survivors insurance trust fund and the disability insurance trust fund.
3. Medicare benefits include hospital and supplementary medical insurance benefits that are distributed from the federal hospital insurance trust fund and the supplementary medical insurance trust fund.
4. Consists of nonmortgage interest paid by households. Note that mortgage interest paid by households is an expense item in the calculation of rental income of persons.
5. The current-dollar measure is deflated by the implicit price deflator for personal consumption expenditures.
6. Population is the total population of the United States, including the Armed Forces overseas and the institutionalized population. The monthly estimate is the average of estimates for the first of the month and the first of the following month; the
annual and quarterly estimates are averages of the monthly estimates.
