Income approach is one of the approaches of measuring Gross Domestic Product (GDP). Income approach measures GDP with the idea that sum total of all goods and services produced in a country during a particular period should be the aggregate payment made to all factors of production after adjusting for sales, depreciation and transfer payments.
