US real per capita disposable income climbed to $52,470 in May 2026 (Q2 2026), a slight increase of 0.27% from the previous month. Despite facing the challenge of high nominal PCE inflation of 4.1%, the expansion of nominal income and wages remains strong, maintaining positive growth in real after-tax income. This data will provide support for short-term private consumption, but the low savings rate remains a medium-to-long-term economic concern.
