The increase in personal income in October primarily reflected increases in wages and salaries,
proprietors’ income, and government social benefits to persons (table 3). Farm proprietors’ income
increased $11.6 billion in October, which included subsidy payments associated with the Department of
Agriculture’s Market Facilitation Program.
The $56.5 billion increase in real PCE in October reflected an increase of $14.3 billion in spending for
goods and a $41.4 billion increase in spending for services (table 7). Within goods, spending for
prescription drugs was the leading contributor to the increase. Within services, the largest contributor
to the increase was spending for household electricity and gas. Detailed information on monthly real
PCE spending can be found in Table 2.3.6U.
Personal outlays increased $90.8 billion in October (table 3). Personal saving was $967.8 billion in
October and the personal saving rate, personal saving as a percentage of disposable personal income,
was 6.2 percent (table 1).
Updates to Personal Income and Outlays
Estimates have been updated for April through September. The percent change from the preceding

NIPA Handbook: Concepts and Methods of the
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 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.
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 chained-dollar
values, a "residual" line shows the difference between the
sum of detailed chained-dollar series and its corresponding
aggregate.

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.
