<br />Effective Buying Income
<br />
<br />"Effective Buying Income" is defined as personal income less personal tax and nontax
<br />payments, a number often referred to as "disposable" or "after-tax" income. Personal income is
<br />the aggregate of wages and salaries, other labor-related income (such as employer
<br />contributions to private pension funds), proprietor's income, rental income (which includes
<br />imputed rental income of owner-occupants of non-farm dwellings), dividends paid by
<br />corporations, interest income from all sources, and transfer payments (such as pensions and
<br />welfare assistance). Deducted from this total are personal taxes (federal, state and local),
<br />nontax payments (fines, fees, penalties, etc.) and personal contributions to social insurance.
<br />According to U.S. government definitions, the resultant figure is commonly known as
<br />"disposable personal income."
