Definition: Gross national disposable income

SNA

Gross national disposable income is equal to GNI (Gross national income) less current transfers (other than taxes, less subsidies, on production and imports) payable to non-resident units, plus the corresponding transfers receivable by resident units from the rest of the world. Gross national disposable income measures the income available to the total economy for final consumption and gross saving (SNA 2008, § 2.145).

Gross national disposable income may be derived from gross national income by adding all current transfers in cash or in kind receivable by resident institutional units from non-resident units and subtracting all current transfers in cash or in kind payable by resident institutional units to non-resident units (SNA 1993, § 8.16 [2.183]).
