Understanding your calculation
Method, example and limitations
How the calculation works
GDP can be expressed using expenditure components or adjusted for population or prices. Select the mode and keep currencies and time periods consistent.
Example to check
In the expenditure identity, consumption 100, investment 20, government spending 30 and net exports −10 sum to GDP of 140.
Before using the result
Nominal and real GDP are not interchangeable. Source data, price bases and revisions matter; a calculated value is not an official national statistic.
