Charging basis and prices
Statistics Finland produces free and charged data products and
services.
All statistical data produced with funding from the state budget
are available free of charge on the Internet. In addition, basic
information services relating to statistics and several services
supporting the use and interpretation of statistics are offered
free of charge. The volume of data that are made available free of
charge is growing continuously.
Charged services comprise products and services provided in
response to special user needs for which a charge is made in
