% of disposable income - Source frequency: quarterly · Methodology · Corrections
Australia's household saving ratio was 6.5% as of April 2026. The share of household disposable income that households save rather than spend, seasonally adjusted. A high saving ratio means households are building a buffer; a low or falling one means they are spending more of what they earn, which leaves them more exposed to rate rises or job loss. Data is sourced from ABS Australian National Accounts: Key Aggregates (Cat. 5206.0), ANA_AGG M7.HSR and updated quarterly.
