About this indicator
- What it measures
- The percentage change in real (inflation-adjusted) GDP from the previous quarter, at a seasonally adjusted annual rate.
- How it is calculated
- Published by the Bureau of Economic Analysis. The quarterly change is compounded to an annual rate: ((GDP this quarter ÷ GDP last quarter)⁴ − 1) × 100.
- How to read it
- This is the headline US GDP number. Long-run trend growth is around 2%. Two negative quarters are often called a recession, but the US relies on the NBER's broader dating instead.
- Caveats
- Annualising magnifies quarterly noise: 0.5% growth in a quarter is reported as about 2%. The first (advance) estimate is revised in each of the next two months and in annual updates.
- Frequency
- Quarterly
- Typical release
- The advance estimate comes about four weeks after the quarter ends, revised a month and two months later.
