Personal Income and Outlays, June 2026

Personal income increased $54.9 billion (0.2 percent at a monthly rate) in June, according to estimates released today by the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA). Disposable personal income (DPI)—personal income less personal current taxes—increased $48.3 billion (0.2 percent), and personal consumption expenditures (PCE) increased $65.2 billion (0.3 percent).

Disposable Personal Income, Outlays, and Saving

Personal outlays—the sum of PCE, personal interest payments, and personal current transfer payments—increased $70.0 billion in June. Personal saving was $646.1 billion in June, and the personal saving rate—personal saving as a percentage of DPI—was 2.7 percent.

The increase in current-dollar personal income in June primarily reflected increases in compensation, personal income receipts on assets, and government social benefits that were partly offset by a decrease in farm proprietors’ income.

The $65.2 billion increase in current-dollar PCE in June reflected increases of $58.2 billion in spending on services and $7.0 billion in spending on goods.

Technical Notes

Changes in personal income and outlays for June

The June increase of $54.9 billion in personal income primarily reflected increases in compensation, personal income receipts on assets, and government social benefits that were partly offset by a decrease in farm proprietors’ income.

  • Within compensation, the increase was led by private wages and salaries based on Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) Current Employment Statistics (CES).
  • The increase in personal income receipts on assets reflected increases in both dividend income and interest income.
  • Within government social benefits, the leading contributors to the increase were Medicare, based on data from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services and the Budget of the U.S. Government, and social security benefits, based on data from the Social Security Administration.
  • The decrease in farm proprietors’ income reflected the pattern of payments to farmers from the American Relief Act of 2025.

Revisions to personal income

Estimates have been updated for April and May reflecting updated BLS CES data. Revisions to government social benefits were led by Medicaid benefits, reflecting updated data from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services as well as new Monthly Treasury Statement data.
