rekenwaarde

Rekenwaarde is a Dutch term that denotes a numerical value used as input in a calculation, model, or evaluation. It represents the value assumed for processing rather than the measured or observed value, and it can be theoretical, standardized, or provisional.

In finance, taxation and policy contexts, the rekenwaarde is the value used to compute taxes, subsidies, depreciation, or benefits. It may differ from the market value or actual transaction price, and is defined by legislation, contract, or agreed formulas.

In statistics and data processing, rekenwaarde functions as a baseline, normalization factor, or calibration constant. It can be derived from historical data, conventions, or specific methodological choices to ensure comparability between cases or over time.

In engineering and measurement, the rekenwaarde is the input for formulas that yield results such as energy consumption, cost, or performance estimates. It may be rounded or converted between units, and adjustments may apply when measurements become available.

The term highlights the distinction between calculated or assumed values and actual, observed values. Users should check the source and definition of the rekenwaarde in a given context to understand its role and limitations.
