How it's used
This term is primarily used in formal business or professional contexts rather than casual conversation. While it refers to the total revenue generated by a business, it is distinct from profit, as it does not account for costs or expenses. It is frequently heard in meetings, financial reports, or when discussing the performance of a retail store.
Examples
This shop's turnover last month was very high.
Do you know how much the turnover is today?

Common phrases
turnover increases
turnover decreases
Common mistake
Learners often confuse this with 盈利, which refers to profit. Remember that 營業額 focuses solely on the total sales amount before any deductions.
