inntektsverdi

Inntektsverdi is a Norwegian term used primarily in economics and public policy to describe the monetary value associated with income at an individual or household level. The exact meaning varies with context: it can refer to current gross income, disposable income after taxes and transfers, or a longer-term valuation such as the present value of expected future earnings. In statistical reporting, inntektsverdi is often treated as a variable representing the size of income in monetary terms, and may be adjusted for household size (equivalized) or purchasing power.

In policy analysis, inntektsverdi is central for assessing living standards, welfare, and distributional effects of taxation

Calculation approaches vary: annual gross income is a simple measure; disposable income is used for welfare
