Abstract
The purpose of this article is to determine and present the scale of foreign sources of income of Polish
households and their significance for the budget and the financial situation of these households.
To achieve this purpose, individual data from the Household Budget Survey of 2015 will be used. In that
edition of the survey, in addition to information about revenues from various sources (including 12 categories of
foreign income), there were collected data concerning the direct assessment of the impact of foreign income on
the financial situation of households.
To carry out a statistical analysis, theoretical models of income distribution have been used, including Burr
distributions. They will allow to describe the distribution of income from abroad and the total income of
households having income from abroad compared to households without such income. A censored data model
has also been applied to identify determinants of income from foreign sources.
