What is APC?
Average Propensity to Consume (APC) is an economics concept representing the proportion of total income that is spent on consumption rather than saved. It’s calculated as total consumption divided by total income.
How this calculator works
Enter your (or a household’s or economy’s) total consumption spending and total income. The calculator returns APC as a ratio and percentage, along with the Average Propensity to Save (APS), which is simply 1 minus APC.
