Income | |
| Definition: Primary Income of private households (including private non-profit institutions) consists of earned and unearned income of domestic households. This income comprises income of self-employment, including compensation for family-workers, income based on profits from service production, owner-occupied property, salaries and wages as well as income on investments. Disposable Income of private households is calculated by adding monetary social benefits (mainly paid through the state) to the primary income, but subtracting taxes and social contributions (paid by private households). The disposable income of private households is therefore the income utilised for consumer spending or savings.
