Revenue

Revenue is the total earnings generated through the sale of products and services.

Also referred to as sales or turnover, revenue refers to the amount of income that is left after accounting for all expenses, e.g., operating costs. Also, unlike profit, it does not take into account any additional income streams other than its normal activities.
