GDP can be calculated using three approaches: expenditure, income, and production. The expenditure method is most common: GDP = Consumption + Investment + Government Spending + (Exports − Imports). It measures the total value of final goods and services produced within an economy.

There are three methods of calculating GDP. These include expenditure approach, income approach, and production approach. The formula used to calculate the GDP from the expenditure approach is GDP = Consumption + Investment + Government Spending + (Exports − Imports).
