Disposable income is defined as total income after deducting tax and payments to pension funds. Total income refers to all income accounted for in tax returns, i.e. employment income, capital income and other income such as pension payments and interest and child benefits. Taxes are based on the year they are paid. Disposable income for 2018 is based on income for year 2017 updated based on the wage index from June 2017 to May 2018. Family debt
Debt-to-income is reported as a percentage of disposable income. For example, if the family’s disposable income is 12 million ISK per year and debt amounts to 30 million ISK, the debt ratio is 250%. Total debt is as reported on tax reports, including public debts. Family type

As part of the family are also those individuals aged 18 to 24 years old who are living at the same home as they did before becoming 18 years old. Couples are defined by their status in the national registry. Net wealth decile
