Average per capita expenditure refers to the cost incurred for the consumption of all household members over a month, including purchases, gifts, and self-produced goods, divided by the number of household members. Household consumption is categorized into food and non-food consumption, regardless of the source of goods, and is limited to household expenses only, excluding business expenses or expenditures given to others.
Expenditure on food consumption is calculated weekly, while non-food consumption is calculated monthly and for the preceding 12 months. Both food and non-food consumption are then converted into average monthly expenditure. The average per capita consumption/expenditure figures presented in BPS publications are obtained by dividing the total consumption of all households (both consuming food and not) by the total population.
