, Marginal Propensity 2 Save (MPS)
Fraction of any change in disposable
income households save; equal 2
change in saving divided by change in
disposable income.




MPC + MPS = 1
▪ fraction of any income change not
consumed = saved.
MPC & MPS as slopes:
▪ MPC: numerical value of slope of
consumption schedule.
▪ MPS: numerical value of slope of
saving schedule.

Break-even income: lvl of disposable
income @ which households plan 2
consume all income & save none of it;
also, in income transfer programme,
level of earned income @ which
subsidy payments become zero.
