felberäknade

Felberäknade is a Swedish adjective and past participle formed from the verb felberäkna, where fel- means wrong and beräkna means to calculate. The term is used to describe numbers, estimates, or calculations that contain an error or miscalculation. It is commonly used attributively with nouns such as kostnader, siffror, or prognoser to indicate that the figure is not correct.

Felberäknade figures are a frequent concern in areas such as accounting, budgeting, project planning, and data analysis. Causes can include incorrect input data, faulty formulas, mistaken assumptions, or rounding errors. When such miscalculations are discovered, the typical response is to revise the calculation and, if necessary, issue a correction in financial statements or reports. The phrasing does not inherently imply intent; it denotes an error or misestimation.

In Swedish, felberäknade has several inflectional forms to agree with different nouns. The common plural form is felberäknade, while singular forms include felberäknad (en-ord) and felberäknat (neutrum). The word is used across technical and journalistic writing to describe erroneous quantitative results in a precise, non-inflammatory way.
