DETERMINATION OF
NATIONAL INCOME
Definition
National Income is defined as the net value of all economic goods and services
produced within the domestic territory of a country in an accounting year plus the
net factor income from abroad.
According to the Central Statistical Organisation (CSO) ‘National income is the sum
total of factor incomes generated by the normal residents of a country in the form of
wages, rent , interest and profit in an accounting year’.
Concepts
The basic concepts and definitions of the terms used in national income
largely follow those given in the UN System of National Accounts (SNA)
developed by United Nations.
According to SNA , National income accounts have three sides:
a product side
an expenditure side and

an income side.
The product side measures production based on concept of value added.
The expenditure side looks at the final sales of goods and services.
The Income side measures the distribution of the proceeds from sales to
different factors of production.
Thus, national income is the sum total of all the incomes accruing over a
specified period to the residents of a country and consists of wages, salaries,
profits, rent and interest.
On the product side there are two widely reported measures of overall
production namely,
Gross Domestic Product (GDP)
Gross National Product (GNP).
Nominal GDP or GDP at Current Price is the sum total of economic output
produced in a year valued at current market price. It does not take inflation into
account . That means if prices rice, GDP measured at market price will also rise
without any real increase in physical output, therefore economic growth can’t
be analyzed easily.
Real GDP or GDP at Constant Price is the sum total of economic output produced in a
year valued at pre-determined base market price. Since it is inflation adjusted, it acts
as a good measure of economic growth as it shows the true picture of the change in
production of an economy.
In India, we rake price of year 2011-12 as base for computing the Real GDP.
GDP DEFLATOR
The GDP Deflator is the ratio of nominal GDP in a given year to real GDP of that year.
It is used to “deflate” or take away the effect of inflation from nominal GDP.
Using the GDP Deflator, the inflation rate between two consecutive years can be
computed.
Inflation rate in year 2 = [(GDP Deflator of year 2 – GDP Deflator of year 1)/
GDP Deflator of year 1] * 100
NFIA is the difference between the aggregate amount that our country’s citizens and
companies earn abroad, and the aggregate amount that foreign citizens and overseas
companies earn in our country.
Net domestic product at market prices (NDP MP) is a measure of the market value
of all final economic goods and services, produced within the domestic territory of a
country by its normal residents and non residents during an accounting year less
depreciation.
Net National Product at Market Prices (NNP MP) is a measure of the market value of
all final economic goods and services, produced by normal residents within the
domestic territory of a country including Net Factor Income from Abroad during an
accounting year excluding depreciation.
The production and income approach measure the domestic product as the cost paid
to the factors of production. Therefore, it is known as ‘domestic product at factor
cost’. GDP at factor cost is called so because it represents the total cost of factors viz.
labor, capital and entrepreneurship.
We need to clearly understand the difference between the concepts: ‘market price’
and ‘factor cost.’ The market value of the goods and services will include indirect
taxes which are:
product taxes like excise duties, GST etc., levied by the government on
goods and services, and
taxes on production, such as, factory license fee, taxes to be paid to the
local authorities, pollution tax etc. which are unrelated to the quantum of
production.
The Government also gives subsidies to many goods and services. The market prices
will be lower by the amount of subsidies on products and production which the
Government pays to the producer.
Net Domestic Product at Factor Cost (NDPFC) is defined as the total factor incomes
earned by the factors of production. In other words, it is sum of domestic factor
incomes or domestic income net of depreciation.
National Income is defined as the factor income accruing to the normal residents of
the country during a year. It is the sum of domestic factor income and net factor
income from abroad. In other words, national income is the value of factor income
generated within the country plus factor income from abroad in an accounting year.
NNPFC = National Income = FID (factor income earned in domestic territory) + NFIA.
OR
NNPFC = NDP FC + NFIA
OR
NNPFC = NNP MP + subsidies – Indirect Taxes
The GDP per capita is a measure of a country's economic output per person. It serves
as an indicator of the standard of living of a country.
Ie GDP / population
Personal Income
An important point to remember is that national income is not the sum of personal
incomes because personal income includes these transfer payments which are

NNDI = Net National Income + other net current transfers from rest of the world
GNDI = NNDI + Consumption of Fixed Capital
Product Method or Value Added Method is also called Industrial Origin Method or
Net Output Method. National income by value added method is the sum total of net
value added at factor cost across all producing units of the economy.
This method involves the following steps:
Step 1.
Identifying the producing enterprises and classifying them into different sectors
according to the nature of their activities.
All the producing enterprises are broadly classified into three main sectors namely:
(i) Primary sector ( fishing, agriculture, mining) ,
(ii) Secondary sector( manufacturing) and
Income Method
Under Factor Income Method, also called Factor Payment Method or Distributed
Share Method, national income is calculated by summation of factor incomes paid
out by all production units within the domestic territory of a country as wages and
salaries, rent, interest, and profit. By definition, it includes factor payments to both
residents and non- residents.
NDP FC = Sum of factor incomes paid out by all production units within the domestic
territory of a country
= Operating surplus + Compensation to employees + Mixed Income of
selfemployed
Note, operating surplus includes Rent, savings, Interest, Profits, dividend etc
Expenditure Method
Private Final Consumption Expenditure: The volume of final sales of goods and
services to consumer households and nonprofit institutions serving households,
acquired for consumption (not for use in production) are multiplied by market
prices and then summation is done. ( C )
