The formula to calculate the Change in Disposable Income is:

$\Delta PI$ is the change in personal income
$\Delta T$ is the change in personal taxes

What is Disposable Income?

Disposable income is the amount of money that an individual or household has available to spend and save after income taxes have been deducted. It is essentially the net income that can be used for consumption, savings, and investments. Disposable income is a key indicator of the financial health of individuals and households, as it reflects their ability to meet their needs and wants, as well as their capacity to save for the future.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Change in Personal Income (ΔPI) = $5000
Change in Personal Taxes (ΔT) = $1000

Using the formula to calculate the Change in Disposable Income:

\[ \Delta DI = 5000 - 1000 = 4000 \]

The Change in Disposable Income is $4000.
