Glossary

Other income:

– Other income includes e.g. rental income, compensation paid by insurance companies, and tax refunds.

Pay adjustment:

– Key indicators for the profitability of small companies paint a rosier picture than in reality, as small-scale entrepreneurs often do not pay themselves salaries, taking their income directly from the company’s income instead. Statistics Finland adjusts the results of small companies using a calculatory pay adjustment (about EUR 2,500 per month). 

Depreciation:

– Depreciation of fixed assets.

Investments:

– The net investments shown in the key indicator report are taken directly from financial statements.
