Propensity to Consume is the ratio of change in consumption over change in income. In short, MPC = △C/ △Y
Propensity to Save is the ratio of change in saving over change in income. In short, MPS = △C/ △Y
| Y | C | △C | MPC = △C/△Y | S | △S | MPS = △S/△Y |
| 0 | 50 | - | - | - | - | - |
| 100 | 100 | 50 | 0.5 | 0 | - | - |
| 200 | 150 | 50 | 0.5 | 50 | 50 | - |
| 300 | 200 | 50 | 0.5 | 100 | 50 | 0.5 |
| 400 | 250 | 50 | 0.5 | 150 | 50 | 0.5 |
| 500 | 300 | 50 | 0.5 | 200 | 50 | 0.5 |
