Factor income is income derived from selling the services of factors of production. In the case of labour, this means wages, plus the part of the incomes of the self-employed which is a reward for their own labour. Income from land is rents, including part of the incomes of the self-employed, and part of the imputed incomes of owner-occupiers of houses. Incomes from capital and entrepreneurship are received as dividends, interest, the retained profits of companies and the part of the incomes of the self-employed which is a return on their own capital and entrepreneurship.

Faktorinkomster är ett mått som används inom nationalräkenskaper och makroekonomi och utgörs av avkastning på kapital och löner (löner som intjänats i främmande land och förs tillbaka till landet räknas som löpande transfereringar). Faktorinkomster är en del av bytesbalansen.
