In everyday language, the word can express both the process of counting and the outcome of that process.

Etymology and form: The word derives from számítás, formed with the nominalizing suffix -ítás. The variant Számítása is the abstract noun indicating the action or result of calculation. It can appear in phrases referring to the calculation of something, or to calculation in a general sense.

Domains of use: In mathematics, statistics, and computer science, számítás is fundamental as the act of performing operations, solving equations, or executing algorithms. In finance and accounting, it appears in the context of budgeting, cost estimation, and financial forecasting, where accurate számítás underpins decisions. In everyday language, it may be used more loosely to mean “reckoning” or “planning based on numbers.” Related terms include számítás (calculation), számolás (counting or reckoning), and kalkuláció (calculation, often used in business contexts).
