Calculation method of monthly income of households
The household's monthly income is the amount obtained by subtracting various deductions stipulated by the Income Tax Law from the income of all residents.
Monthly income of household = (Total total income of all residents-total deductions stipulated in the Public Housing Law Enforcement Ordinance) / 12
