hello everyone hi welcome to the channel of WallStreetmojo watch the video
[16]
till the end and if you are new to this channel then you can subscribe us by
[21]
clicking the bell icon friends today we have a topic which is disposable
[25]
income well we'll try and understand this topic in a much more detailed
[30]
fashion so disposable income is basically income resources that is
[35]
available you know for what we call as the expenditures and savings and
[40]
investments for the purpose of all the payables you know income taxes have been
[44]
accounted for the household this is also known as dpi that is known as your
[50]
disposable personal income it forms a basis of several other calculations and
[56]
as assessments like related to the household income including the rate of
[61]
what we call as savings in expenses and disposable personal income you know can
[68]
be broken up in in its components to be understood better you know and a
[73]
detailed analysis of the personal income and expenditures can be done now what
[77]
exactly is the formula for this for dpi see dpi formula will go something like
[85]
this dpi is equal to disposable personal
[89]
income formula is equal to your gross annual income less you need to deduct
[101]
that's called payables or payable taxes so when you deduct your annual income
[108]
the gross annual income I am talking about and of that from that you deduct
[112]
your taxes your personal taxes and any sort of other deductions that is
[117]
available to you when you deduct these two things you get your disposable
[121]
income so now let's get into the explanation part to get into more nitty
[126]
gritties of the same now see from a macro economic perspective see
[132]
economists they considered dpi to be to better understand in the health of an
[137]
economy now higher level of income results in
[142]
increase in the levels of the income and it is adding to the spending ability of
[148]
the consumer and they are promoting the tendency to save and invest in better
[151]
and more sophisticated avenues for the long term so basically this you can say
[155]
this also reflects the what we call as state of an economy and in if individuals in the
[163]
households they are borrowing or saving more or on collective level it is widely
[168]
used for collecting several metrics including like you know discretionary
[172]
income marginal propensity to save marginal propensity to consume so it's
[177]
like mps MPC and you know personal savings that it's also considered so how
[183]
discretionary income differs from the disposable income one is your
[189]
discretionary income other is disposable income so what exactly is the difference
[194]
here see discretionary income is another useful measure which differs from what
[201]
we call as disposable income and it takes away the income taxes as well all
[206]
the necessary expenses from the gross income to arrive at the portion of the
[211]
income that is available to what we call as household for spending with certain
[218]
amount of discretion so they can choose to spend it on investment vehicles buy
[223]
household equipments or basically articles of like personal use or save
[228]
the amount you can say that they also do saving of the amount for the future use
[232]
like example example of non discretionary expenditures you know
[236]
could be like rent food clothing transportation insurance premiums and
[243]
any outstanding bills so disposable income on the other hand you know can be
[246]
described as you know as the take-home pay which is going to be used for making
[251]
any or and all the expenses including both discretionary and the
[256]
non-discretionary in nature so discretionary income can be calculated
[261]
I'll just write in a short way discretionary income that is income
[268]
formula is equal to your DPI formula that is you have to deduct the DPI from
[276]
the discretionary income you need to deduct is equal to dpi less any sort of
[282]
essential expenditures that includes all sort of like you know rent outstanding
[288]
bills insurance premium food transport clothing and so on and so forth
[292]
when you deduct that you get discretionary income so discretionary
[297]
income is the actual portion of the household income which can be utilized
[302]
with the view to secure the financial future through savings and investment or
[308]
can be used for requiring like you know goods or availing services of one's own
[314]
choice okay let me run you through an example let's assume that the household
[319]
has the total annual gross income that we are talking about is let's say
[326]
$54,000 and after taking away what we call as the income taxes and other
[332]
deductions a total of let's say $40000 are left and then you know that
[340]
would be disposable personal income for the household for that particular year
[345]
so taking ahead the same example for the disposable income suppose the
[350]
non-discretionary expenses like rent food clothing and so on and so forth it
[357]
amounts to let's say $31,000 then we would deduct it from the
[362]
disposable personal income right which is $40,000
[368]
sorry disposable personal we don't have DPI's $40,000 to derive the
[374]
figure of $9000 which would represent the actual discretionary
[378]
income for the household which they can choose to spend as they wish so one
[382]
example of how disposable personal income and the discretionary income
[385]
would would be affected by the economic changes on a broader scale and it would
[390]
be to be how changes in the interest rates would potentially it affects any
[395]
income of the household like for instance if the what we called as the
[400]
interest rates went up make discretionary income would be
[403]
proportionally reduced by take with a bigger chunk of the mortgage
[407]
repayments and if the interest rates go down it would add up the discretionary
[412]
income available to the household second you know another such example of
[417]
disposable income is that of the income taxes income taxes rates in in a country
[424]
which directly impacts the level of the income available to the household so now
[428]
if the income tax rates are let's say increased it would lower down the
[437]
disposable personal income and if they should go down the income would witness
[444]
a commensurate rise so again if the income tax rates are increase it would
[451]
lower down the disposable personal income that's very mature because you're
[455]
paying more to the government and if they should if they should go down the
[459]
income would witness a rise right now there are some related metrics of
[466]
disposable income the first one is the what we call as the personal savings
[471]
rate that's the first one it can be described as the what we call as the
[476]
percentage of the income that goes into the savings for the use of retirement or
[483]
the purpose second is MPC marginal propensity to
[487]
consume which can be described as you know percentage of every extra dollar
[490]
spent or out of the disposable personal income so it depends on rising or
[494]
lowering levels of the discretionary income which serves as an important
[498]
indicator for the economists to couch the levels of the spendings and
[501]
increasing or you know maybe warning the interest of the individuals in spending
[506]
the greater amount or what they can choose to save or spend well that's what
[510]
the drivers let me make my final conclusions on this disposable income
[514]
you know is no doubt an important economic measure for studying how well
[519]
an economy is doing for the whole and whether the households are individuals
[522]
earning enough to meet the non-discretionary expenses with related
[528]
relative ease so this is what frees them from thinking more about improving the
[533]
quality of life and financial security by spending more on what we call as high
[539]
quality goods and services well my saving for future use and other measures
[544]
related to the this income especially the discretionary income plays a very
[549]
important role in understanding the fine points about the household economy
[553]
better which in turn reflects the overall state of the economy so that's
