Data quality and sources
Scores run from 1 (strong direct national source coverage) to 5 (mainly modelled).
| Measure | Score | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Net worth | 2 | ECB HFCS provides 10 direct harmonized household net-worth thresholds (p10–p95). Survey coverage is strong, but it is not individual wealth and the extreme tail is modelled. |
| Income | 2 | ECB HFCS provides 10 direct harmonized household thresholds (p10–p95). This is a strong source track, but a household is not personal wage/income and the curve requires interpolation. |
The calculator also offers a national source track for Greece based on official national statistics (Advanced options → Comparison basis). National tracks use their own definitions and are not added to the global total.
Amounts are converted at fixed exchange rates of 2025-12-31; they do not adjust for purchasing power. Thresholds in the extreme top are modelled and uncertain.
