value added

Increased by processing

Value added refers to the enhancement a company provides beyond raw materials or basic inputs—the difference between what goes in and what comes out.

In economics, it measures the contribution at each stage of production.

As an adjective, value-added describes features or services that increase worth: value-added tax, value-added reseller.

In business jargon, it often just means beneficial or useful: What's the value-added here?
