About GDP Calculator Tool

Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is a measure of a country's economic performance and is the total value of all goods and services produced within a country's borders in a given period. GDP can be calculated using two different approaches: the expenditure approach and the resource cost-income approach.

The expenditure approach calculates GDP by adding up the total amount spent on final goods and services in a country over a given period. This includes household consumption, government spending, investment, and net exports.

The resource cost-income approach calculates GDP by adding up the total income earned by individuals and businesses in a country over a given period. This includes wages, interest, rent, and profits.

Both approaches yield the same result, as the total amount spent on final goods and services equals the total income earned by those who produced them.
