Formula and methodology
Formula: GDP gap = actual GDP−potential GDP; gap percentage = (actual−potential)/potential × 100.
A negative result means actual output is below the entered potential benchmark; a positive result means it is above that benchmark.
This result follows the calculator's declared inputs, precision, validation boundaries, and model limits.
Input contract
- Potential GDP — currency units; minimum 1.0E-6; maximum 1.0E+15
- Actual GDP — currency units; minimum 0; maximum 1.0E+15
Worked example
| Input | Value |
|---|---|
| Potential GDP | 1000 |
| Actual GDP | 980 |
GDP gap = −20; gap percentage = −2%.
Assumptions and limits
- Actual and potential GDP use the same price basis, time period, and geographic scope.
- Potential GDP is an estimate rather than a directly observed quantity.
- The result does not diagnose causes, inflation, policy response, or recession conditions.
