Table explanation


This table contents figures of the Regional accounts.
Regional accounts are consistent with National accounts, except for differences due to rounding, and also with Eurostat's European System of National and Regional Accounts 2010 (ESA 2010).
The new Standard Industrial Classification 2008 (SIC 2008) is used in the National and Regional Accounts of the Netherlands. This code is based on the European classification Nomenclature générale des Activités économiques dans la Communauté Européenne (NACE Rev. 2) which is used in all Member States of the European Union. It is in use for the year 2008 onwards. The amounts in this publication are in current prices only.

Data available from: 1995

Status of the figures:
The figures of the year 1995 to 2020 are final. Data of the year 2021 are also final, but the figures on Labour input of employed persons and Labour input of employees are an exception, due to the late availability of annual data on self-employed persons. Since this table has been discontinued, data of 2021 will not become final.

Changes as of December 9th 2024:
None. This table has been discontinued.
Statistics Netherlands has carried out a revision of the national accounts. The Dutch national accounts are recently revised. New statistical sources, methods and concepts are implemented in the national accounts, in order to align the picture of the Dutch economy with all underlying source data and international guidelines for the compilation of the national accounts. For further information see section 3.

When will new figures be published?
Not applicable anymore.

Description topics

Value added from the output
Output (basic prices)
Output covers the value of all goods produced for sale, including unsold goods, and all receipts for services rendered. Output furthermore covers the market equivalent of goods and services produced for own use, such as own account capital formation, services of owner-occupied dwellings and agricultural products produced by farmers for own consumption. The output of such goods is estimated by valuing the quantities produced against the price that the producer would have received if these goods had been sold. Output is valued at basic prices, defined as the price received by the producer excluding trade and transport margins and the balance of taxesand subsidies on products. This is the price the producer is ultimately left with.
Intermediate consumption
Intermediate consumption includes all goods and services used up in the production process in the accounting period, regardless the date of purchase. This includes for example fuel, raw materials, semi manufactured goods, communication services, cleansing services and audits by accountants. Intermediate consumption is valued at purchasers' prices, excluding deductible VAT. For companies which do not need to charge VAT on their sales, the VAT paid by their purchases is non-deductible. It is therefore recorded as a component of intermediate consumption.
Gross value added
Value added at basic prices by industry is equal to the difference between output (basic prices) and intermediate consumption (purchasers' prices).
Value added from generation of income
Compensation of employees
Compensation of employees is the total renumeration paid by employers to their employees in return for work done. Employees are all residents and non-residents working in a paid job. Managing directors of limited companies are considered to be employees;
therefore their salaries are also included in the compensation of employees. The same holds for people working in sheltered workshops. Compensation of employees is distinguished between wages and salaries and employers' social contributions.
Gross operating surplus
The gross operating surplus by industry is the balance that remains after deducting from the value added (basic prices) the compensation of employees and the balance of not product-related taxes and not product-related subsidies on production. The operating surplus of family enterprises is called mixed income, because it also contains compensation for work by the owners and their family members. On the level of the total economy operating surplus is computed by adding to the total of the industries the difference imputed and paid VAT.
Taxes, not product-related
Taxes on production paid by producers, not related to the value or volume of the products produced or transacted. Examples are real estate tax and sewerage charges paid by producers.
Subsidies, not product-related (-)
Subsidies on production paid to producers, not related to the value or volume of products domestically produced or transacted. These are mainly wage subsidies.
Labour input
Total labour input
Labour input of all employed persons (employees and self-employed) during an accounting period expressed in full-time equivalent jobs (fte). For the total labour input part-time jobs are converted to full-time jobs.

Employed persons include all persons carrying out a remunerated activity, including persons who only work one hour a week. In addition, it also covers:
- hidden and underground activities where the transactions themselves are not against the law, but are unreported to avoid official scrutiny;
- persons paid out but temporarily not working, for instance due to illness/injury or suspension of work caused by bad weather;
- persons not paid out who are temporary absent.
Labour input of employees
Labour input of employees during an accounting period expressed in full-time equivalent jobs. Part-time jobs are converted to full-time jobs. Employees are defined as persons who, by agreement, work for a resident institutional unit and receive a remuneration (wages and/or salaries in kind) recorded as compensation of employees.
