According to the source, the annual income is determined based on the amount stated by the respondent. If this amount is stated as a monthly amount, 12 monthly amounts are calculated and one or two monthly amounts are added if a 13th or 14th monthly salary is paid. If the income is stated in the form of an hourly wage, this is converted to the annual amount by multiplying it by the person's weekly working hours and by 52. For employees, the net amounts are converted into gross amounts by adding a lump sum for social security contributions, which are calculated according to the economic sector and age of the respondent.
