The contribution of various industries to the Tasmanian economy can be assessed in terms of their contribution to Gross State Product (GSP). GSP is the total market value of goods and services produced in Tasmania within a given period after deducting the cost of goods and services used up in the process of production, but before deducting allowances for the consumption of fixed capital.

In 2005-06, major contributing industries to GSP, based on factor incomes (i.e. the sum of compensation of employees, gross operating surplus and gross mixed income) were Manufacturing (14.5%), Health and community services (9.7%) and Retail trade (7.5%).

Compensation of employees includes wages and salaries, employer contributions to pension and superannuation funds, and premiums paid by employers to workers' compensation schemes. In 2005-06, some 15.7% of Tasmania's compensation of employees was in Health and community services, 14.4% was in Manufacturing and 10.1% was in Government administration and defence.

Gross operating surplus and gross mixed income is defined as gross value added minus compensation of employees, minus taxes on production and imports payable plus subsidies receivable. In 2005-06, some 15.9% of Tasmania's gross operating surplus and gross mixed income was in Ownership of dwellings, 14.5% was in Manufacturing, and 11.3% was in Agriculture, forestry and fishing.
