sissetulekupõhise

Sissetulekupõhine refers to a system or method that is determined by or based on income. This term is most commonly used in Estonia in the context of social benefits, taxes, and financial aid. It signifies that the amount of a benefit, the level of taxation, or the eligibility for certain financial support is directly linked to an individual's or household's earned income.

For example, some social welfare benefits in Estonia are sissetulekupõhine, meaning that individuals with lower incomes may receive higher payments or be eligible for support that is unavailable to those with higher earnings. Similarly, certain tax reliefs or deductions might be sissetulekupõhine, with the advantage provided being scaled according to income level. The principle behind sissetulekupõhine systems is often to provide a degree of income redistribution and to offer targeted assistance to those most in need. This approach aims to ensure that financial resources are allocated effectively based on economic capacity.
