Methodological aspects

Gross Disposable Household Income (GDHI) is the main aggregate that measures the disposable income of the residents of a territory for use in consumption or savings. This income does not only depend on the income of families directly associated with the retribution for their contribution to productive activity (compensation of employees and gross operating surplus), but it is also influenced by Public Administration activity through taxes and social benefits. It is calculated as a balance of the household income accounts, i.e. the difference between the set of resources and uses. It is qualified as gross income, since no consumption of fixed capital is deducted.

The households sector includes all individuals or groups of individuals, both in their condition as consumers and, when relevant, as entrepreneurs that produce financial or non-financial market goods or services (market producers), provided that, in the latter case, the corresponding activities are not undertaken by differentiated entities which are treated as quasi corporations. They also include individuals or groups of individuals that produce non-financial services and goods exclusively for their own end use.

The main resources of household income accounts are:

  • Compensation of employees
  • Gross operating surplus
  • Social benefits

The main uses are:

  • Social contributions
  • Income and wealth taxes

Idescat presents the Gross Disposable Household Income (RFDB) series under the criteria of the 2024 Statistical Benchmark Revision.

The aggregates of gross disposable household income and its components for Catalonia are consistent with the estimates of the Household Income Distribution Accounts produced within the framework of the Spanish Regional Accounts of the corresponding base year.

The geographical scope of the 2024 Benchmark Revision 'series encompasses the counties and municipalities in Catalonia with more than 1,000 inhabitants.

In order to produce the gross disposable household income per inhabitant, the Population estimates as of 1 July produced by Idescat are taken as a reference.
