recalculation

Doing math again

Recalculation is the act of calculating something again, typically because new information has emerged, an error was discovered, or circumstances have changed.

The term appears frequently in financial, tax, and technical contexts where figures must be updated: The recalculation of her benefits resulted in a higher monthly payment.

In spreadsheet software, recalculation refers to the automatic or manual updating of formulas when underlying data changes.
