MEASURE TO CALCULATE
NATIONAL INCOME
NATIONAL INCOME
It is defined as the sum total of all the factor
incomes earned by normal residents of a country,
within the domestic territory of a country and
from the rest of the world, during a period of an
accounting year
INCOME METHOD
In this method, national income is
measured in terms of factor payments
(wages, rent, and profit) to the owners
of the factors of production (labour,
land, capital, and enterprise), during
an accounting year. This method is
also known as the Share Method or
Factor Payment Method
Steps to calculate National Income using Income Method
1. Estimation of Compensation of Employees
It includes
*Wages and salaries in cash
*Payments in kind such as rent-free house
*Employer’s contribution to social security schemes such as provident fund
*Pension on retirement, as it is the part of service contract between employer and employees
Symbiotically
Compensation of employees = Wages and salaries in cash + payments in Kind + Employer’s
Contribution to Social Security Schemes + Pension on Retirement

2. Estimation of Operating surplus


It refers to income from property and entrepreneurship. I include the following items
*Rent and Royalty
*Interest
* Profit
Symbiotically,
Operating Surplus = Rent and Royality + Interest +Profit
Where,
Profit = Dividend / Distributed Profits + Corporate Dividend Tax + Undistributed Profit
3. Estimation of mixed Income of Self-Employed
The income of the self-employed persons using their own
land, labour, capital, and entrepreneurship for production is
termed as mixed-income

4. Estimation of National Income (NNP at fc)


It is computed using the following formulae

NDP at fc = Compensation of Employees + Rent and


Royalty + Interest + profit + Mixed Income of Self-employed
PRECAUTIONS OF INCOME METHOD
While using the income method, items included and excluded in the calculation
of national income are:-
* Income From Illegal activities like smuggling, theft, gambling, etc. should not
be included.
* Commission paid on the sale and purchase of second-hand goods are to be
included.
* Income in terms of windfall gains should not be included
* Imputed rent of the owner-occupied houses is treated along with rent as a
component of factor incomes.
* Income tax is paid out of compensation of employees. It should not be
separately added to the estimation of national income.
* Brokerage on the sale/purchase of shares and bonds is to be included.
* Transfer earnings like old age pensions, unemployment allowance, scholarship
pocket expenses, etc. should not be included
