# Components of GDP

### The components of US Gross Domestic Product (GDP)

GDP is divided into four parts: Consumption, Investment, Government Purchase, and Net Export. Net export is export minus import. These four parts are various forms of spending on domestically produced goods and services. The table shows the dollar value of components of the GDP and their percentage of the total. The table provides a percentage value of total for different components, where the share of import is subtracted. The pie chart only represents the comparative size of components of the GDP and discards negative sign of import.
