and personal consumption expenditures (PCE) increased $5.7 billion (less than 0.1 percent).

The increase in personal income in March primarily reflected increases in government social benefits to
persons, nonfarm proprietors’ income, and compensation of employees (table 3).
The increase in real PCE in March was more than accounted for by an increase in spending for services,
notably spending for household utilities. This increase was partially offset by a decrease in spending for
durable goods, which was more than accounted for by a decrease in motor vehicles and parts.
Personal outlays increased $4.9 billion in March (table 3). Personal saving was $849.1 billion in March
and the personal saving rate, personal saving as a percentage of disposable personal income, was 5.9
percent (table 1).

Updates
Estimates have been updated for January and February. The percent change from the preceding month

U.S. National Income and Product Accounts

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

Real values are inflation-adjusted estimates—that is,
estimates that exclude the effects of price changes.
For more definitions, see the Glossary: National Income
and Product Accounts.

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?”
Quantities and prices. Quantities, or “real” volume
measures, and prices are expressed as index numbers with
a specified reference year equal to 100 (currently 2009).
Quantity and price indexes are calculated using a Fisherchained weighted formula that incorporates weights from
two adjacent periods (quarters for quarterly data and
annuals for annual data). “Real” dollar series are
calculated by multiplying the published quantity index by
the current dollar value in the reference year (2009) 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.

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.
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.
