The latest Primerica Household Budget Index\u2122 (HBI\u2122) data, a monthly economic metric that examines how inflation and wage trends impact the ability of middle-income families to afford life\u2019s everyday necessities, was 100.1% in May, a 0.4% increase from a month ago and up 1.5% from a year ago. Purchasing power improved slightly in May as the average earned income of middle-income households rose more than the increase in the cost of necessity items.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\nThe Consumer Price Index (CPI) that measures inflation for a comprehensive basket of goods for all U.S. households came in at 2.3% in May. Over the past twelve months ending in May, middle-income households saw a 2.8% rise in the cost of all items and a 2.5% rise in the cost of necessity items used in the HBI\u2122 (food, utilities, gas, auto insurance, and health care).<\/p>\n

About the Primerica Household Budget Index\u2122 (HBI\u2122)<\/b><\/p>\n

\nThe Primerica Household Budget Index\u2122 (HBI\u2122) data is constructed monthly on behalf of Primerica by its chief economic consultant Amy Crews Cutts, PhD, CBE\u00ae<\/sup>. The index measures the purchasing power of middle-income families with household incomes from $30,000 to $130,000 and is developed using data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the U.S. Bureau of Census, and the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City. The index looks at the cost of necessities including food, gas, auto insurance, utilities, and health care and earned income to track differences in inflation and wage growth.<\/p>\n

\nPrimerica\u2019s HBI\u2122 metric was created to fill an information void around the economy\u2019s impact on middle-income families. Metrics like the Consumer Price Index (CPI) measure overall inflation but don\u2019t offer a clear picture of how it impacts middle-income Americans. Middle-income households play a key role in driving consumer spending and the overall economy as they account for over 55% of the U.S. population. The purchasing power of middle-income families are a key barometer of real-time economic trends. Understanding middle-income households\u2019 purchasing power is important because it shows whether they are gaining financial ground or falling behind.<\/p>\n

\nThe HBI\u2122 data uses January 2019 as its baseline, with the value set to 100% at that point in time.<\/p>\n

\nPeriodically, prior HBI\u2122 values may be modified due to revisions in the CPI series and Consumer Expenditure Survey releases by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). Beginning with the December 2024 release of the index, the expenditure weights have been updated to the most recent (Q1 2024) data and auto insurance has been added to the group of necessity items.
