Frequently asked questions

What is disposable income?

Disposable income is what remains from gross income once taxes are paid. It is the amount households actually have available to spend and save.

How is it different from discretionary income?

Disposable income is after tax. Discretionary income goes a step further, subtracting essential costs like housing and food to show what is truly free to use.
