Talk:Net income

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Net income and net profit are completely different. Net profit is from a business standpoint, whereas net income is from a personal standpoint (Gross income minus taxes and deductions)

Actually, at least in the United States, both terms are used quite often in business and non-business ("personal") settings -- and both are frequently used to describe the same concept. Yours, Famspear 19:45, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

Actually, i'd say that net income is more like gross profit in UK terms. JonF. 15:57 23, February 2007 (UTC)

Leave net income alone. It is used all the time in Real Estate conversation, a field I know a bit about. Who would bring up this suggestion!?

An important of aspect of net income (in the USA) is that it deducts for depreciation of equipment, reserves, and other resources that decline in value with production or time. A comparison of "profit" , "net income" , and "cash flow" would be very valuable if posted by a knowledgeable accountant. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.245.78.210 (talk) 13:00, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
