About this data
This table presents countries' annual national disposable income (net). Net disposable income is calculated by deducting the consumption of fixed capital (depreciation) from gross national disposal income. The data is in US dollars converted using Purchasing Power Parities (PPPs) and in constant prices (chain linked volumes rebased to 2020). The indicators were presented in the previous dissemination system in the SNA_TABLE2 dataset.
