nonmonetary
Beyond dollar value
Nonmonetary describes things not involving money or not measured in currency.
Nonmonetary compensation includes benefits like health insurance or stock options rather than salary.
Nonmonetary factors in a decision might be quality of life or personal satisfaction.
The term appears frequently in economics, law, and business contexts where distinguishing cash from other forms of value matters.
