Net household saving represents the portion of household income that is not spent on final consumption.
It is calculated as household net disposable income plus the adjustment for the change in pension entitlements, minus household final consumption expenditure. The adjustment reflects (mandatory) savings through employment-related pension schemes. Households also include non-profit institutions serving households (NPISHs). All OECD countries compile their data according to the 2008 System of National Accounts (SNA).
The indicator is measured as a percentage of household and NPISH net disposable income, at current prices.
