How it's used
Used primarily in business and accounting contexts, this term specifically refers to the final bottom line after all expenses and taxes are deducted. It is distinct from 營業額, which only measures total revenue before costs are removed. While it sounds formal, it is frequently used in casual discussions about business performance or personal side hustles.
Examples
The shop's net profit has increased a lot this year.
