Personal consumption expenditures (PCE) increased $86.0 billion, or 0.8 percent. In January, personal income increased $26.5 billion, or 0.2 percent, DPI increased $5.0 billion, or less than 0.1 percent, and PCE increased $40.9 billion, or 0.4 percent, based on revised estimates.

Goods-producing industries' payrolls increased $1.3 billion, compared with an increase of $9.6 billion; manufacturing payrolls increased $1.5 billion, compared with an increase of $7.6 billion. Services-producing industries' payrolls increased $16.5 billion, compared with an increase of $12.4 billion. Government wage and salary disbursements decreased $0.2 billion in February, in contrast to an increase of $2.0 billion in January. Pay raises for military personnel added $1.8 billion to government payrolls in January. Employer contributions for employee pension and insurance funds increased $1.5 billion in February, compared with an increase of $2.1 billion in January. Employer contributions for government social insurance increased $1.1 billion in February, compared with an increase of $5.8 billion in January. The January change reflected an increase in the social security taxable wage base (from $106,800 to $110,100) and in the tax rate paid by employers to state unemployment insurance; together, these changes added $4.1 billion to January. (Changes in employer contributions for government social insurance do not affect personal income, because employer contributions for government social insurance are also included in total contributions for government social insurance, which is a subtraction in the calculation of personal income.) Other personal income Proprietors' income increased $2.2 billion in February, compared with an increase of $1.3 billion in January. Farm proprietors' income decreased $0.2 billion, compared with a decrease of $0.1 billion. Nonfarm proprietors' income increased $2.4 billion, compared with an increase of $1.5 billion. Rental income of persons increased $3.5 billion in February, compared with an increase of $3.2 billion in January. Personal income receipts on assets (personal interest income plus personal dividend income) increased $1.7 billion, in contrast to a decrease of $2.3 billion. Personal current transfer receipts increased $3.0 billion in February, compared with an increase of $1.6 billion in January. Within current transfer receipts, there were large, offsetting changes to government social benefit programs. “Other” government social benefits to persons increased $1.3 billion, in contrast to a decrease of $15.8 billion; the January change was reduced $13.6 billion reflecting the expiration of the Making Work Pay refundable tax credit. Offsetting these changes, government social benefits for social security increased $2.9 billion in February, compared to an increase of $20.3 billion in January; the January change was boosted by a 3.6-percent cost-of-living adjustment (COLAs) to social security benefits. Contributions for government social insurance -- a subtraction in calculating personal income -- increased $2.4 billion in February, compared with an increase of $9.3 billion in January. The January increase reflected increases in both employer and personal contributions for government social insurance. As noted above, employer contributions were boosted $4.1 billion in January by increases in unemployment-insurance tax rates and in the social security taxable wage base. The January increase in personal contributions for government social insurance reflected increases in the monthly premiums paid by participants in the supplementary medical insurance program (Medicare B) and in the social security taxable wage base; together, these changes added $1.6 billion to January. Personal current taxes and disposable personal income Personal current taxes increased $9.2 billion in February, compared with an increase of $21.6 billion in January. Federal net nonwithheld income taxes (payments of estimated taxes plus final settlements less refunds) boosted January by $11.8 billion, based on the Office of Tax Analysis projections of higher final settlements and higher refunds for 2012. Disposable personal income (DPI) -- personal income less personal current taxes -- increased $18.9 billion, or 0.2 percent, in February, compared with an increase of $5.0 billion, or less than 0.1 percent, in January. Personal outlays and personal saving Personal outlays -- PCE, personal interest payments, and personal current transfer payments -- increased $89.8 billion in February, compared with an increase of $44.8 billion in January. PCE increased $86.0 billion, compared with an increase of $40.9 billion. Personal saving -- DPI less personal outlays -- was $438.7 billion in February, compared with $509.5 billion in January. The personal saving rate -- personal saving as a percentage of disposable income -- was 3.7 percent in February, compared with 4.3 percent in January. For a comparison of personal saving in BEA’s national income and product accounts with personal saving in the Federal Reserve Board’s flow of funds accounts and data on changes in net worth, go to www.bea.gov/national/nipaweb/Nipa-Frb.asp. Real DPI, real PCE and price index Real DPI -- DPI adjusted to remove price changes -- decreased 0.1 percent in February, compared with a decrease of 0.2 percent in January. Real PCE -- PCE adjusted to remove price changes -- increased 0.5 percent in February, compared with an increase of 0.2 percent in January. Purchases of durable goods increased 1.6 percent, compared with an increase of 1.4 percent. Purchases of motor vehicles and parts accounted for most of the increase in February. Purchases of nondurable goods increased 0.1 percent in February, compared with an increase of 0.3 percent in January.

PCE price index -- The price index for PCE increased 0.3 percent in February, compared with an increase of 0.2 percent in January.
