In order to compare these author estimated three kinds equivalence scales using Engel method, ELES (Extended Linear Expenditure System), demand equation and Bernoulli well-being function. Estimation for household groups determined on account income produced confirmed differences in households' maintenance compared reference household. A values revealed similarity results methods which differed from obtained means method.
