Tulotuloilla

Tulotuloilla is a Finnish term used primarily in economic statistics and policy discussions to describe the sources or streams of income and how they make up a total earnings figure. The word is formed from tulo, meaning income or revenue, and the suffix -lla, which marks the adessive case in Finnish and is often used in nouns that indicate “on/by/with” a particular basis. In practice, tulotuloilla appears in statistical texts to indicate income composition rather than a single value.

In usage, tulotuloilla refers to analyzing income by its components. Analysts may break down total income into categories such as palkkatulot (earned income from work), yrittäjätulot (self-employment income), pääomatulot (capital income), and muut tulot (other income). The term helps describe how different sources contribute to a household’s or population’s overall income level, and it is commonly seen in national accounts, tax statistics, and welfare analyses.

Relation to other terms is straightforward: it relates to tulot (income) and to specific income categories like palkkatulot and pääomatulot. While the phrase may appear in official documents and statistical tables, it is less common in everyday language, where people tend to refer to income in more general terms. The concept remains useful for understanding income distribution and policy impacts on different income sources.
