National income is a comprehensive measure of the overall economic activity of a nation. It represents the total value of goods and services produced within a country during a specific period, usually a year. There are several methods to calculate it, each focusing on different aspects of the economy. Here's a breakdown:
Expenditure Approach: This method sums up all spending within the economy. It's calculated as:
National Income (NI) = Consumption (C) + Investment (I) + Government Spending (G) + (Exports (X) - Imports (M)). Each component represents a major sector's spending: households (C), businesses (I), government (G), and the net effect of international trade (X-M).
Income Approach: This approach adds up all the income earned by factors of production within a country. This includes:
A crucial part of this calculation is adjusting for items that are not actually income, such as Depreciation (capital consumption allowance) and Indirect Business Taxes (sales taxes, excise taxes).
Production Approach (Value Added Approach): This method calculates national income by summing the value added at each stage of production across all industries in the economy. Value added is the difference between the value of goods produced and the cost of materials and supplies used in production.
The formula involves calculating the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and then making adjustments:
National Income = GDP + Net Factor Income from Abroad - Depreciation - Statistical Discrepancy
