National Income is defined as the sum total of all the goods and
services produced in a country, in a particular period of time.

A wage is monetary compensation (or remuneration, personnel
expenses, labor) paid by an employer to an employee in exchange for
work done. Payment may be calculated as a fixed amount for each
task completed (a task wage or piece rate), or at an hourly or daily
rate (wage labor), or based on an easily measured quantity of work
done.

8. CONCEPTS
Gross Domestic Product (GDP)
GDP measures the aggregate money value of output produced by the
economy over a year. In other words, GDP is obtained by valuing all
final goods and services produced domestically in a year at market
prices.
GDP=C+I+G+(X-M)
Where, C=Consumption
I=Investment
G=Government expenditure
(X-M)=Export minus impor

Gross National Product (GNP)
This is the basic social accounting measure of the total output or aggregate
supply of goods and services. Gross National Product is defined as the total
market value of all final goods and services produced in a year.
GNP=C+I+G+(X-M)+NFIA
GNP includes the following:
C=Consumer goods and services
I=Gross private domestic investment in capital goods.
G=Government expenditure.
(X-M)=Net exports (exports-imports).
NFIA=Net factor income from abroad.

Net National Product (NNP)
This concept of national income is that of net national product. In the
production of gross national product of a year, we consume or use up
some capital, i.e., equipment, machinery, etc.
NNP=C+I+G+(X-M)+NFIA-Depreciation
11. CONTINUE…
National Domestic Product (NDP)
The full form of NDP is National Domestic Product. It is the gross
domestic product (GDP) minus depreciation on a country's capital
goods.
NDP = Consumption + Government Expenditures + Investment

Personal Income (PI)
Personal Income is the sum of all incomes actually received by all

Disposal Income (DI)
After a good part of personal income is paid to government in the
form of personal taxes like income tax and personal property taxes,
what remains of personal income is called disposable income.
Disposable Income = Personal Income—Personal Taxes.
Disposable Income can either be consumed or saved. Therefore
Disposable Income = Consumption + Saving.
