sale proceeds

Money from selling

Sale proceeds are the money received from selling something—property, stock, a business, or other assets.

The term appears most often in legal, financial, and real estate contexts: The sale proceeds were split among the heirs.

It emphasizes the money as a distinct sum resulting from a transaction, often subject to distribution, taxation, or reinvestment requirements.
