Income
Income is money that is earned from doing work or received from investments [Cambridge Dictionary].
Income refers to the money a person or entity receives in exchange for labor or products. Income may have different definitions depending on the context—for example, taxation, financial accounting, or economic analysis. For most people, income means their total earnings in the form of wages and salaries, the return on their investments, pension distributions, and other receipts. For businesses, income means the revenues from selling services, products, and any interest and dividends received concerning their cash accounts and reserves related to the business. Economists have different definitions and ways of measuring income. Whether their studies involve earnings, savings, consumption, production, public finance, capital investment, or other related topics and subtopics, their concept of income will correspond to the purpose of their research. While the measure of income on a macro level is critical to societal and policy studies, individuals are more focused on their personal and business income [Investopedia].
A person's or organization's income is the money they earn or receive, as opposed to the money they have to spend or pay out [Collins English Dictionary].
