How To Calculate GDP Deflator?

GDP Deflator = (Nominal GDP / Real GDP) × 100

Nominal GDP = GDP measured at current prices

Real GDP = GDP measured at constant prices

Use the same base year prices for Real GDP

Divide Nominal GDP by Real GDP

Multiply the result by 100

The result is the GDP deflator index

A GDP deflator above 100 means prices have risen since the base year

A GDP deflator below 100 means prices have fallen since the base year
