This dataset contains a historical time-series data of the Personal Saving Rate (PSAVERT) starting from 1959-01-01.

The values within the data field labeled PSAVERT represent the personal saving as a percentage of disposable personal income (DPI), frequently referred to as "the personal saving rate," and calculated as the ratio of personal saving to DPI at the time of the corresponding DATE field. The unit of the data column is Percent and the values are based on seasonally adjusted annual rate. The BEA account code for this dataset is A072RC.

Personal saving is equal to personal income less personal outlays and personal taxes; it may generally be viewed as the portion of personal income that is used either to provide funds to capital markets or to invest in real assets such as residences.
