1. What is PPP?

PPP (Purchasing Power Parity) is an economic metric that compares economic productivity and standards of living between countries by adjusting GDP per capita. The 2025 projection helps forecast future economic conditions.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the PPP equation:

Where:

• Projected GDP — Estimated GDP for 2025 in US dollars
• Population Adjustment — Estimated population count for 2025

Explanation: The equation calculates the average economic output per person, adjusted for purchasing power.

3. Importance of PPP Calculation

Details: PPP-adjusted GDP provides a more accurate comparison of living standards between countries than nominal GDP per capita, as it accounts for differences in price levels.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter projected GDP in USD and population count. Both values must be positive numbers.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Why use PPP instead of nominal GDP?

Q3: Where can I find GDP projections?
A: IMF, World Bank, and national statistical agencies provide GDP projections.

Q4: How accurate are PPP calculations?
A: Projections depend on the accuracy of GDP and population estimates, which can vary.

Q5: Does PPP account for inflation?
