    Consumption is a key component in the calculation of GDP and refers to how much money out of disposable income is spent by households on goods (both durable and non-durable) and services.

    Disposable income is how much money households have after taxes. Their consumption and spending come from here.

    Whatever is not spent is saved. Savings are therefore calculated as;

    Savings = Disposable income - Consumption

    Savings for the above are therefore,

    $20,000 - $22,000 = - $2,000

    21,000 - 22,500 = - $1,500

    22,000 - 23,000 = - $1,000

    23,000 - 23,500 = - $500

    24,000 - 24,000 = $0

    25,000 - 24,500 = $500

    26,000 - 25,000 = $1,000

    27,000 - 25,500 = $1,500

    28,000 - 26,000 = $2,000
