DALYs for a disease or health condition are calculated as the sum of the years of life lost due to premature mortality (YLL) in the population and the years lost due to disability (YLD) for incident cases of the health condition.

The standard life expectancy used for YLL at each age is the same for deaths in all regions of the world and is the same as that used for the calculation of disability-adjusted-life years (DALY). Additionally 3% time discounting and non-uniform age weights which give less weight to years lived at young and older ages were used as for the DALY. With non-uniform age weights and 3% discounting, a death in infancy corresponds to 33 YLL, and deaths at ages 5 to 20 to around 36 YLL.

This corresponds to the total sum of expenditure (consumption and investment) of the private and government agents of the economy during the reference year.
