Disposable income is income you can actually use to buy various goods and services. It begins as your "net pay" (the amount of your pay cheque _after_ all deductions have been taken off). It then includes any interest you receive on savings bonds, fixed-time deposits, government payouts (such as your income tax refund), and other sources of cash.
