IMPORTANT FORMULAE
Estimation of National Income
1) Estimation of GDPMP (Income method/ Expenditure method/Value added method)
2) GNPMP = GDPMP + NFIA
3) NNPMP = GNPMP - Depreciation
4) NNPFC = NNPMP - Net indirect taxes
5) NFIA = Factor income from abroad - Factor income to abroad
6) Net Indirect Taxes = Indirect taxes - Subsidies
Estimation of GDPMP
1. Income Method
NDPFC = Compensation of employees + Operating surplus + Mixed income of self employed
2. Expenditure Method
GDPMP = Private final consumption expenditure + Government final consumption expenditure +Gross
domestic capital formation + Net exports.
3. Value Added Method
i) Value of output = Sales + Change in stock.
ii) GVAMP of GDPMP = Value of output - Intermediate consumption.
Estimation of Private Income, Personal Income & Personal Disposable Income.
PRIVATE INCOME
i) Income from domestic product accruing to private sector= NDPFC - Income from property and
entrepreneurship accruing to government administrative departments- savings of non departmental
enterprises
ii) Private Income= Income from domestic product accruing to private sector + NFIA + All current
transfers (Interest from national debt, Transfer payment from abroad, Transfer payment from Rest of the
world)
PERSONAL INCOME
Personal Disposable Income = Personal Income - Personal taxes- Miscellaneous receipts of government
Net National Disposable Income = National Income + NIT + Net current transfers from ROW
Gross National Disposable Income = NNDI + Depreciation (Current replacement cost)
