About the GDP Calculator (Expenditure Approach)
The expenditure approach calculates Gross Domestic Product by adding up everything spent within an economy: household consumption, business investment, government spending, and net exports (exports minus imports).
Formula: GDP = C + I + G + (X − M), where C is consumption, I is investment, G is government spending, X is exports and M is imports.
A negative net exports figure (a trade deficit, when imports exceed exports) reduces GDP, while a trade surplus adds to it — this is one of three standard approaches to measuring GDP, alongside the income and output approaches.
