Results are estimates for planning and education. Confirm rates, taxes, fees, and legal requirements with the relevant institution or a qualified professional before making a financial decision.

Formula and method

Subtract government taxes from personal income and add government transfers. Income of 60,000, taxes of 12,000 and transfers of 2,000 gives disposable income of 50,000.

Disposable income = income − taxes + transfers

Assumptions and limitations

  • Use values from a consistent period, scope and currency. The stated formula defines this simplified model; the explanation describes quantities it leaves out.

Common questions

Is disposable income the same as spending money after bills?

No. Disposable income is after the tax and transfer adjustments entered. Housing, food, debt payments and other personal expenses have not been subtracted.
