  1. net income

    Net income, also known as net profit or net earnings, is a measure of the profitability of a business. It is calculated by subtracting all business expenses, including operating costs, taxes, interest expenses, and other deductions, from total revenue. If the net income is positive, the company has made a profit for the financial period; if it's negative, the company has incurred a loss. This figure is typically reported on a company's income statement or profit and loss statement.

  1. Net income

    In business, net income - also referred to as the bottom line, net profit, or net earnings - is an entity's income minus expenses for an accounting period. It is computed as the residual of all revenues and gains over all expenses and losses for the period, and has also been defined as the net increase in stockholder's equity that results from a company's operations. In the context of the presentation of financial statements, the IFRS Foundation defines net income as synonymous with profit and loss. Net income is a distinct accounting concept from profit. Profit is a term that "means different things to different people", and different line items in a financial statement may carry the term "profit", such as gross profit and profit before tax. In contrast, net income is a precisely defined term in accounting.
