Maandopmaand

Maandopmaand is a term used in Dutch finance and analytics to describe the change in a metric from one month to the next. It expresses the month-over-month growth or decline of a value such as revenue, sales, user count, or website visits. The maandopmaand growth rate is typically calculated as (CurrentMonthValue - PreviousMonthValue) / PreviousMonthValue × 100 percent. If the previous month has a value of zero, the rate cannot be computed and analysts may report the absolute change or use an alternative baseline.

Maandopmaand is used to identify short-term trends and momentum, complementing longer-term indicators such as year-over-year growth. A positive maandopmaand indicates expansion, while a negative figure indicates contraction. However, maandopmaand can be volatile, especially for small values or in months with irregular lengths or seasonal effects (for example, holidays or promotions). Therefore, analysts often interpret maandopmaand figures alongside seasonally adjusted data or by aggregating over several months (for example, a three-month moving average) to reduce noise.

Common variants include seasonally adjusted maandopmaand, maandopmaand relative to the same month in the previous year, and compound maandopmaand growth, which compounds several monthly rates over a period. Maandopmaand is widely used in financial reporting, retail analytics, and digital analytics to monitor short-term performance and to inform tactical decisions.
