gross earnings
Pretax business revenue
Gross earnings are total income before any deductions.
For an individual, this means wages or salary before taxes, insurance, and retirement contributions are subtracted.
For a business, it's total revenue before expenses, taxes, and other costs.
The figure matters for loan applications, tax calculations, and comparing compensation packages.
Contrast with net earnings, which is what remains after deductions.
