Glossary:Household saving

Household saving, total savings of the household sector in national accounts, may be estimated by subtracting individual consumption expenditure and the net adjustment for change in pension entitlements of households from disposable income.

The latter consists essentially of income from employment and from the operation of unincorporated enterprises, plus receipts of interest, dividends and social benefits minus payments of income taxes, interest and social contributions.
