Propensity to Save

Propensity to Save: It refers to the functional relationship between saving & level of income, S = f (Y). In other words, it is the tendency of the households to save at a given level of income.

The two types of saving function or propensity to save are as follows:

  1. Marginal Propensity to Save (MPS): The ratio of change in savings (Δs) to change in income (ΔY) is called MPS.
          MPS = Δ S / Δ Y
  2. Average Propensity to Save (APS): The ratio of total savings to total income is called APS.
        APS = S/Y
