What contributed
to economic growth?

Spending contributions to GDP growth

Estimated contributions to total GDP growth. Each coloured segment is a component’s net contribution between the start and end quarters. Positive contributions are stacked to the right of zero; negative ones to the left. The dark marker shows total real GDP growth (%), on the same numeric scale. The two sides offset each other; the positive stack alone is not total growth.

Each bar is one quarterly change after the start quarter, up to and including the end quarter. Positive and negative contributions offset each other. Dots show published quarterly GDP growth (%), on the same numeric scale; the positive stack alone is not GDP growth.

Scroll horizontally to see every quarter. No quarters are combined in this view.

Eight published spending components, including the statistical discrepancy. Imports retain their published contribution sign.

Rounded source data: whole-period contributions are approximate TEP calculations from published quarterly figures, not an ABS-published cumulative series. Differences from GDP growth are shown separately and are not redistributed.

All 19 published industries are included. They do not cover every item in GDP. Items outside these industries are not allocated to them. The difference to GDP growth also reflects source rounding and benchmarking.

How the period totals are calculated

The start quarter is the baseline. Changes begin in the following quarter and end in the selected end quarter. A five-year comparison contains 20 quarterly changes.

For each component, multiply each published quarterly percentage-point contribution by real GDP in the preceding quarter divided by real GDP in the start quarter, then add those weighted contributions. This expresses each quarter’s contribution against a common starting GDP level. It is a TEP linking convention for this experiment, not a new ABS estimate.

Total GDP growth is calculated separately as 100 × (end-quarter real GDP / start-quarter real GDP − 1). Source contributions are rounded and may not add exactly to published quarterly GDP growth; those differences accumulate. The industry scope omits other GDP items. The site does not force the components to match the total.

This measures contributions to the change in GDP between two quarters, not the sum of GDP produced during the intervening years, investment’s effect on future productivity, or a component’s own growth rate.
