Morphology
The meaning 'the total income received by an individual' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'personal' (relating to a particular person) with 'income' (funds received). This is a simple modifier + noun composition found across many languages and involves no idiomatic or metaphoric shift, so a B1 learner who knows the constituents will readily understand it.
Etymology
The phrase personal income comes from combining personal, meaning 'belonging to one person', with income, meaning 'money that comes in'. It refers to all the money a single person gets from work, investments and other sources, so it means the 'total money a person receives before taxes'.
