How to Calculate the Non-food Poverty Line1. Find typical Household (HH) on the food poverty line.2. Calculate the non-food expenditures of the HH.
xF = per capita expenditures on food XN = per capita expenditure on non-foodX = total per capita expenditure
ZN = E {XN|xF= ZF} for the poor (Non-food poverty line is the per capita non-food expenditure level when the
per capita food expenditure level is equal to the food poverty line)
ZN = E {XN|x= ZF} for the ultra (extreme) poor (The non-food poverty line is given by the per capita non-food expenditure
when the total expenditure is equal to the food poverty line. The food poverty line in essence becomes the total poverty line for the ultra poor)
Z = ZF + ZN

Source: Caloric requirements are from WHO (1985, Tables 42 to 49).Notes: Requirements used are for men weighing 70 kilograms and for women weighing 60 kilograms. Urban
individuals are assumed to need 1.8 times the basal metabolic rate (BMR), while rural individuals are assumedto need 2.0 times the average BMR. Children under one year of age are assigned the average caloric need ofchildren either 3–6, 6–9, or 9–12 months old.

Depth of Poverty – how far a person is below the poverty linePoverty Gap – aggregation of depth of povertyPoverty Severity – aggregation with weights

Example of Poverty Gap CalculationIncome of4 individuals in a sample: 1,2,3,4
Poverty line = Z = 3; n=4
