​However, donation is not a factor income because it is a transfer payment. It does not result from any productive economic activity and is received without providing any goods or services in return.
Transfer payments (such as donations, gifts, scholarships, and pensions) are considered non-factor incomes.

  • Non-factor income consists of transfer payments like donations, social security benefits, and subsidies, which do not arise from economic production.
  • Interest is the payment for capital investment and loans.
  • National income is calculated using factor incomes.
