recalculate

Run numbers again

To recalculate is to calculate again, typically because conditions have changed or an error was discovered: The system recalculates your route when you miss a turn.

Recalculation often happens automatically—spreadsheets recalculate when cells change, GPS devices recalculate when you deviate from the path.
