What is the GDP Deflator Calculator & How does it work?
The GDP deflator is an economic indicator that measures the level of price changes for all new, domestically produced final goods and services in an economy. It is used to calculate the inflation rate by comparing the current year’s GDP to a base year’s GDP.
To calculate the GDP deflator, you need the nominal GDP (current prices) and the real GDP (constant prices). The formula for the GDP deflator is:
GDP Deflator = left(frac{Nominal GDP}{Real GDP}right) times 100
Nominal GDP = Current year’s GDP at current prices
Real GDP = Current year’s GDP at base year prices
