TBE - total basic expenditure of of families within the +/- ten percentile of the food threshold

Poverty Incidence
P = (Q/n) *100

where:

Q= number of individuals with per capita annual income less than the per capita poverty threshold

n= total number of individuals

Poverty incidence among children belonging to poor families
P = (S/n) *100

where:
