net sales
Revenue minus deductions
Net sales is the revenue a company actually keeps after subtracting returns, allowances, and discounts from gross sales.
It reflects what customers ultimately paid rather than what was initially charged: Net sales dropped after the holiday return period.
The figure appears on income statements as the top line for measuring business performance.
