GDP Calculator
Calculate GDP using the expenditure approach — consumption, investment, government spending and net exports.
What is GDP Calculator?
Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is the total monetary value of all finished goods and services produced within a country's borders in a specific time period. The expenditure approach sums up all spending on final goods and services to derive GDP.
Use this calculator to compute GDP by entering consumption, investment, government spending, exports and imports — the four components of the expenditure method expressed as GDP = C + I + G + (X − M).
How does the GDP Calculator work?
C is private consumption expenditure, I is gross capital investment, G is government spending on final goods and services, X is exports and M is imports.
Net exports (X − M) can be negative, which means the country imports more than it exports, reducing GDP.

Frequently Asked Questions
What units should I use?
Enter all values in ₹ Crore (or any consistent unit). The calculator sums them directly, so make sure every input uses the same denomination.
Why can net exports be negative?
When imports exceed exports, net exports become negative, meaning more money flows out of the country for foreign goods than comes in from exports. This is called a trade deficit.
Is this nominal or real GDP?
The calculator does not adjust for inflation, so the result is a nominal GDP figure. To get real GDP, you would need to deflate the values by an appropriate price index.
