The PCE price index increased 0.4 percent. Excluding food and energy, the PCE price index increased 0.3
percent (table 5). Real DPI decreased 0.1 percent in September and real PCE increased 0.4 percent;

The increase in current-dollar personal income in September primarily reflected increases in
compensation, personal income receipts on assets, nonfarm proprietors’ income, and rental income of
persons (table 2).
The $138.7 billion increase in current-dollar PCE in September reflected an increase of $96.2 billion in
spending for services and a $42.5 billion increase in spending for goods (table 2). Within services, the
largest contributors to the increase were other services (led by international travel), housing and utilities
(led by housing), health care (led by hospitals and nursing homes), and transportation (led by air
transportation). Within goods, other nondurable goods (led by prescription drugs) and motor vehicles
and parts (led by new motor vehicles) were the leading contributors to the increase. Detailed
information on monthly PCE spending can be found on Table 2.4.5U.
Personal outlays, the sum of PCE, personal interest payments, and personal current transfer payments,
increased $175.1 billion in September (table 2). Personal saving was $687.7 billion in September and the
personal saving rate—personal saving as a percentage of disposable personal income—was 3.4 percent
(table 1).
Prices
From the preceding month, the PCE price index for September increased 0.4 percent (table 5). Prices for
goods increased 0.2 percent and prices for services increased 0.5 percent. Food prices increased 0.3
percent and energy prices increased 1.7 percent. Excluding food and energy, the PCE price index
increased 0.3 percent. Detailed monthly PCE price indexes can be found on Table 2.4.4U.
From the same month one year ago, the PCE price index for September increased 3.4 percent (table 7).
Prices for goods increased 0.9 percent and prices for services increased 4.7 percent. Food prices
increased 2.7 percent and energy prices decreased by less than 0.1 percent. Excluding food and energy,
the PCE price index increased 3.7 percent from one year ago.
Real PCE
The 0.4 percent increase in real PCE in September reflected an increase of 0.5 percent in spending on
goods and an increase of 0.3 percent in spending on services (table 4). Within goods, the largest
contributors to the increase were motor vehicles and parts (both new and used vehicles) and other
nondurable goods (led by prescription drugs). Within services, the largest contributor to the increase
was other services (led by international travel). Detailed information on monthly real PCE spending can
be found on Table 2.4.6U.

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, refer to 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, refer to 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 2017).
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, refer to
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.
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.

Chained-dollar values are calculated by multiplying the
quantity index by the current-dollar value in the reference
year (2017) 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.

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.”

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.
