• A ballpark figure is a rough estimate of what something might mean in numerical terms when a more precise number is estimated, such as the cost of a product.

  • Indicative figures can be useful in establishing a placeholder for discussion or evaluation purposes when a more precise figure is not available.
  • Estimated figures are used in everyday life and in many aspects of business; however, it is important to remember that this is just an estimate and not an accurate reading of anything.
