deducting
Removing from total
Deducting is subtracting an amount from a total: After deducting expenses, we barely broke even.
The word appears most often in financial contexts—deducting taxes from a paycheck, deducting business costs from taxable income.
To deduct is to take away; what remains is the net amount.
