This question collects the same information as in Question 30, but covering a month rather
than 7 days. The instruction for this question is therefore the same as that for Question 30
except for the difference in reference period. Regular employees, for instance civil servants,
are paid every month. Include all the various benefits received in addition to the basic gross
27
pay, for instance transport, housing, or other allowances. Estimate the cash value of these
benefits per month, and add to the take-home pay reported in the first column.
If the organization for which the person works provides free transportation, clothing, housing,
or other benefits in-kind, rather than as a cash subsidy, estimate their value per month based
on what it would cost the person to obtain these benefits if they were not provided free of
charge. Record the estimate of these in-kind payments per month in the second column.
