évesített

The Hungarian word "évesített" translates to "annualized" in English. It is a term used to describe a process of converting a value that is not measured over a full year into a comparable yearly figure. This is often done in financial, economic, and statistical contexts.

For example, if a company's profit for the first quarter of a year is known, the profit can be annualized by multiplying it by four to estimate the full year's profit. Similarly, economic growth rates for a shorter period, such as a month or a quarter, are frequently annualized to allow for easier comparison with yearly targets or historical annual data.

The purpose of annualizing is to provide a standardized metric for understanding trends and performance over a consistent time frame. This allows for more meaningful comparisons between different periods or entities that may have reporting cycles of varying lengths. However, it's important to note that annualized figures are projections and may not accurately reflect the actual full-year outcome, as seasonal factors or changes in conditions can influence performance over time. The calculation is a straightforward multiplication: (value for period) * (number of periods in a year).
