How We Calculated Your Income - and What We Didn't Take into Account
Real disposable income is all household income (salaries, benefits, interest on deposits, income from property - for example, rent for an apartment) minus mandatory payments: taxes, loan payments, and so on. In general, everything that a family can spend on consumption or savings. One important clarification: these incomes become “real” after they are adjusted for inflation - this way, changes in the purchasing power of money are taken into account.
