net earnings
Income after deductions
Net earnings is what remains after all expenses, taxes, and deductions have been subtracted from total revenue—the actual profit a company or individual takes home.
In business contexts, net earnings appears on income statements as the bottom line: The company reported net earnings of $2.3 million for the quarter.
For individuals, it's take-home pay after withholdings.
