Market concentration

HHI Calculator

Calculates current HHI as the sum of squared market shares and, when two firms are selected, post-merger HHI and delta.

How it works

Enter each undertaking's market share as a percentage. The total should equal 100%. Merger mode combines two shares and compares the before and after values.

Methodology

HHI = Σ(market share²). Results are explained using the initial concentration indicators in the TCA Horizontal Merger Guidelines; they are not findings of legality.

Frequently asked questions

Should I enter 0.35 or 35 for a 35% share?

Enter 35. The calculator uses 35².

Is HHI conclusive on its own?

No. Market definition, barriers to entry, competitive closeness and other conditions also require analysis.
