Meaning of National Income

National income is the monetary value of all the goods and services produced within a country over a given period of time, usually a year plus net income from abroad. It also includes the income accruable to all factors of production: land, labour capital and entrepreneur. The national income is different from the income of the government. The national income is the value of all economic activities of the country for a particular period of time while government income is the revenue raised through taxation, borrowing, fees, etc.

The government also contributes to the National Income.
