# Personal Income: release dates, results and history


    Personal Income last printed 0.2 on Wed, Sep 30, 2026 against a 0.4 consensus forecast and a 0.4 prior, a -1.11 standard-deviation surprise. The next release is Thursday, October 29, 2026 at 8:30 AM ET. Captured live by Helious the moment it printed.

    Personal income is what households earned before they spent any of it, and that spending is two-thirds of GDP. The line to read inside the report is wages and salaries, the cleanest monthly measure of labor earnings. Swings in transfers and dividends can push the headline around. Put income next to outlays and you get the savings rate, which is how the market judges how much runway the consumer has left.

      The official published series at its current vintage, revisions included, so the newest point can differ from the number as first printed. The release-by-release history, with the consensus forecast and standard-deviation surprise on every row, comes through the [Helious API](https://helious.io/developers/).





## How it moves Treasuries

    An income beat leans mildly bearish Treasuries because it reads as a stronger consumer. The PCE inflation figures in the same release usually own the reaction anyway. A sagging savings rate warns that spending is outrunning earnings. See it scored live on the [Helious desk](https://helious.io/),
