What this means
How much of the standard cost of public services a municipality can cover with its own tax revenue. Above 1.0, it receives no ordinary local allocation tax from the national government.

Recurring costs that must be paid every year (personnel, social assistance, debt service) as a share of recurring general revenue. The higher it is, the less room for new spending; above 90% is considered rigid.
What this means
Debt repayments relative to revenue (3-year average). At 18% or more, new borrowing needs approval; 25% or more triggers early fiscal soundness measures.
What this means
Debts and other future liabilities as a percentage of one year's standard revenue. For municipalities, 350% or more triggers early fiscal soundness measures. Zero when reserves exceed liabilities.
What this means
Outstanding local government bonds at fiscal year-end divided by the population.
What this means
Fiscal adjustment, debt reduction and special-purpose funds at fiscal year-end divided by the population.
What this means
The share of revenue the municipality raises itself: taxes, fees, charges and similar.
What this means
The freely usable reserve (fiscal adjustment fund) as a percentage of standard annual revenue. Around 10–20% is considered comfortable.
