Revision of the Personal Income and Outlays Estimates

Personal income, personal outlays, DPI, and personal saving are revised, beginning with January 2004 to reflect the results of the annual revision in the national income and product accounts (NIPAs) released last week. The NIPAs usually are revised each July to incorporate newly available
and more comprehensive source data, as well as improved estimating methodologies.

Personal income was revised down $4.2 billion, or less than 0.1 percent, for 2004; was revised up $61.9 billion, or 0.6 percent, for 2005; and was revised up $92.2 billion, or 0.8 percent,for 2006. For 2004, a downward revision to rental income of persons was partly offset by an
upward revision to compensation of employees. For 2005, large upward revisions to personal interest income and to personal dividend income were partly offset by a large downward revision to rental income of persons. For 2006, large upward revisions to personal interest income and to personal dividend income were partly offset by downward revisions to compensation of employees, to rental income of persons, and to proprietors'' income. Within compensation of employees,
supplements to wages and salaries accounted for most of the downward revision, although wage and salary disbursements was also revised down. In addition, contributions for government social insurance, which are subtracted in the calculation of personal income, was revised down.

Disposable personal income (DPI) was revised down $0.7 billion, or less than 0.1 percent, for 2004; was revised up $55.9 billion, or 0.6 percent, for 2005; and was revised up $100.0 billion, or 1.0 percent, for 2006. The revisions were roughly similar to those to personal income, reflecting
small revisions to personal current taxes. Personal current taxes was revised down $3.5 billion for 2004; was revised up $6.0 billion for 2005, and was revised down $7.8 billion for 2006. The percent change from the preceding year in real DPI was unrevised at 3.6 percent for 2004, was revised up from 1.2 percent to 1.7 percent for 2005, and was revised up from 2.6 percent to 3.1 percent for 2006.
