About this statistic

How it is measured

Gross domestic product at current prices: the market value of everything the US economy produces, from the BEA's national accounts. The figure is quarterly, expressed at a seasonally adjusted annual rate, and the axis is in billions of dollars, so a reading of 30,000 is a $30 trillion economy. The data reaches us through FRED, the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis's data service, and originates with the Bureau of Economic Analysis.

What the curve shows

US output reached $31.9 trillion at an annual rate in January 2026, from $243.2 billion at the window's start. Because this series is nominal, inflation is inside the line; the real GDP series strips it out and grows visibly slower.

Frequently asked questions
What does annualized mean?
Each quarter's output is scaled to a full-year pace, so quarters are comparable to years. A quarter with $7.5 trillion of actual output posts as a $30 trillion annual rate.
Is this adjusted for inflation?
No, this is current-dollar GDP. Part of every rise is price increases rather than more goods and services; the companion real GDP series holds prices constant to isolate volume.
