     1/ A classification exclusively developed by Sales and Marketing Management, it is personal income less personal tax and nontax payments.  Personal income is the aggregate of wages and salaries, other labor income (such as employer contributions to private pension funds), proprietor's income, rental income (which includes imputed rental income of owner-occupants of nonfarm dwellings), dividends paid by corporations, personal interest income from all sources, and transfer payments (such as pensions and welfare assistance).  Deducted from this total are personal taxes (federal, state, and local), nontax payments (such as fines, fees, penalties), and personal contributions for social insurance.  The resultant figure is commonly known as "disposable personal income."
     2/ Computed by R&D, by dividing total effective buying power by total population figure as provided by Source.
