net profit
Revenue minus expenses
Net profit is what remains after all expenses, taxes, and costs are subtracted from total revenue—the actual earnings a business keeps.
Distinguished from gross profit, which only deducts direct production costs.
After paying salaries, rent, and taxes, our net profit was barely enough to reinvest.
Also called the bottom line, from its position on financial statements.
