Household Income vs. Disposable Income

Avatar

When I input payroll into the IMPLAN model, using SAM multipliers, do I need to discount (by 25% for example) to only account for disposable income?

    If you are using a labor income activity, no you do not. It does it for you.

    Do we have to discount if we are using the household spending activity or does the model take this into account like in the labor income?

    Using the hh spending activity assumes that you have some change in hh income that is not related to labor income. IMPLAN does the disposable income adjustment for you. You don't need to do anything else.
