Key questions

What does disposable income include?

Income remaining after income taxes, social security contributions and compulsory health-insurance premiums. Housing and consumption are still paid from it.

Is this the income of one person?

No. This is the arithmetic mean for entire private households. Households differ in size and composition.

Can I compare every year directly?

The household budget survey changed methods in 2015 and 2022. The historical chart marks those breaks. Differences are not necessarily statistically significant.
