Peruslisäys

Peruslisäys is a Finnish term that translates to "basic addition" or "base increase." It commonly refers to a fundamental increase in a quantity or value, often in a context where a standard or initial amount is being augmented. This concept appears in various fields, including economics, finance, and everyday calculations.

In economics, peruslisäys might describe an increase in wages or salaries that forms the foundational increment to an employee's earnings, separate from bonuses or performance-related pay. Similarly, in financial planning, it can refer to the initial, regular contribution made to a savings account or investment, forming the base upon which further contributions or growth accumulate.

The term is also used in simple mathematical contexts to denote the act of adding a standard or initial value to another number. For instance, if a price is increased by a peruslisäys, it implies a straightforward addition of a predetermined amount or percentage to the original price. The core idea is an augmentation that builds upon an existing base, rather than a complex adjustment or a proportional change that might be described differently.
