Value Added

From Econterms, for About.com

Definition: Value added is a measure of output. Value added by an organization or industry is, in principle:

revenue - non-labor costs of inputs

where revenue can be imagined to be price*quantity, and costs are usually described by capital (structures, equipment, land), materials, energy, and purchased services.

Treatment of taxes and subsidies can be nontrivial.

Value-added is a measure of output which is potentially comparable across countries and economic structures.
