Definition

The financial accounting term net Income is used to describe a measure of a company's profitability. Net income is a line item appearing on the income statement, and is derived by subtracting expenses from revenues.

Calculation

Net Income = Revenues - Expenses

Explanation

The goal of a company is to produce profits for the owners. Also known as net profits and net earnings, net income is perhaps the most familiar statement of that profitability as it appears on a company's income statement. While the term profit can have different meanings, net income is the money left over after all of the expenses have been removed from revenues.

Investors and analysts monitor net income since this is the money returned to shareholders in the form of a stock dividend or retained earnings.
