What is the difference between income and profit?

income - ()
profit - ()

Some people intend for the terms income and profit to have the same meaning. For example, the income statement was commonly referred to as the profit and loss (P&L) statement. When a company is profitable, we mean that the company has a positive net income.

To aid in understanding these terms, the word "net" is often added. Hence, we often see the terms net income and net profit. This communicates that the amounts are the remainder after expenses have been deducted. For example, a company's profit margin is often listed as the net profit margin (which is defined as the company's net income divided by its net sales). The word "net" also helps to distinguish a company's net profit from its gross profit, and its net profit margin from its gross profit margin.

Some people use the term income to mean revenues. For example, a bank or an individual will often refer to the interest they earn on bond investments as interest income or investment income. A retailer will refer to the sales of merchandise as revenues, but the revenues from secondary activities will be reported as other income ornonoperating income.

It is wise to keep in mind that different meanings are not unusual among people, businesses and countries.

What Is the Difference Between Net Income & Net Profit After Tax?

What is the difference between revenue and income?

revenue - (When analyzing a company's income statement, revenue is found at the top of the page. This is the number from which all calculations originate. Revenue is simply the total amount of cash generated by the sale of products or services associated with the company's primary operations, less any returns or discounts. It can also be thought of as net sales. For a grocery store, this includes the sale of anything found in the store, from vegetables to floral arrangements. )

income - (However, many companies also have alternate income streams from investments or the sale of other assets. These funds are not counted as revenue because they do not stem from the main business, so they are accounted for elsewhere in the income statement. However, in a financial context, the term income almost always refers to the bottom line, or net income.)



  • For a business, income refers to net profit i.e. what remains after expenses and taxes are subtracted from revenue. Revenue is the total amount of money the business receives from its customers for its products and services. For individuals, however, "income" generally refers to the total wages, salaries, tips, rents, interest or dividend received for a specific time period.

What is the difference between revenue and profit?

revenue - (Revenue is the total amount of income generated by the sale of goods or services related to the company's primary operations. If the company is a shoe retailer, the money it makes from selling shoes before accounting for any expenses is its revenue.)

profit - (This is called net profit, because it is the amount of income that remains after accounting for all expenses, debts, additional income streams and operating costs.)




  • Although the terms "revenue" and "profit" are sometimes used interchangeably, they mean different things on your income statement. Revenue is the money your business takes in from all sources. Profit is what remains after you pay all the bills. You can have strong revenue but still post a net loss if your cash outflows are greater than your inflows. The income statement discloses your revenue sources and your business expenses. By following how your expenses affect your revenue, you can find ways to cut your costs and increase your profit.

  • Revenue can most easily be thought of as the top line of an income statement or profit and loss statement. Revenue is the total amount of income generated by the sale of goods or services related to the company's primary operations. If the company is a shoe retailer, the money it makes from selling shoes before accounting for any expenses is its revenue. If the company also has income from investments or from a subsidiary company, that income is not considered revenue; it does not come from the sale of shoes. Additional income streams and various types of expenses are accounted for separately.

difference between award and prize and reward

award - (An award is usually a token of appreciation for doing something well. A prize is usually a thing or money, while an award is often a certificate. "What did you win in the competition? If you answer "award", then we expect a token of effort and merit (a certificate, a medal, a plaque). You can't use "reward" here; only prizes and awards are won. ")
prize - ("prize" is rarely used as a verb, and when it is, it doesn't mean anything that "reward" or "award" do. A prize is generally won in a competition or a contest. "What did you win in the competition?" If you answer "prize", then we expect something of some material value (100 dollars, a new car, a trip to Hawaii).)
reward - (Shagnal uranshuulal -
"The teacher rewarded his students for their hard work with a week of no homework". You can't use "award" here.)

the difference among award, reward and prize?

(Hello Everyone,:)

I would like to know here the salient difference among award , reward and prize?)

difference between pride and proud

pride - (                                   "Pride" is a noun.
"Pride" is what someone has.)
proud - (                                "Proud" is an adjective.
"Proud" is what someone is.)


Do you think there is a difference between PRIDE and PROUD? ........is so, please explain.......?


  • You may be said to have pride or you may said to be proud, noun versus adjective. To say someone has proud or that someone is pride would be an incorrect usage in either case. 

    Yes, the two are related and in much the same way as tall and height. You are tall if you have height. You are not called height if you have tall.

difference between stuff and thing

stuff - (Stuff is more physical but things relate to ideas or actions. stuff is uncountable noun, while thing is a countable noun. They really mean the same thing, however "too much stuff going on" is more informal than "too many things going on".)

thing - (Stuff is more physical but things relate to ideas or actions. stuff is uncountable noun, while thing is a countable noun. They really mean the same thing, however "too much stuff going on" is more informal than "too many things going on".)

stuff & thing




What is the difference between stuff(staff?) and thing?

  • Good question!

    stuff is very casual word that should only be used in conversation.
    We often use it in place of things.
    For example:
    I have a lot of stuff to do today.
    I have a lot of things to do today.

    It can also be used at times when we can't use "things" for plural things.
    What's all that stuff on the table for?

    The basic nuance of stuff is things that the speaker feels is not that important or doesn't want to be too exact about.

    Hope this helps.

7 Things Successful People Do On The Weekends

Doing piles of laundry, cleaning and finishing up some leftover work assignments. These dreary tasks are not what successful people do on the weekend. Instead, they fill their free days with recharging activities that allow their brains to reboot after a frenetic work week.
 According to Laura Vanderkam, author of What the Most Successful People Do on the Weekend, professional superstars limit their chores on Saturdays and Sundays and instead use those hours to relax with family and exercise (after all, sitting at a desk for hours on end can wreak havoc on the body). A 2014 study from Stanford found that a person's productivity declines when his or her workweek exceeds 50 hours. In fact, productivity plummets so dramatically that after 55 hours, the study found that there's hardly a point to working.  
The infographic below, which is based on Vanderkam's findings, offers smart habits that'll help prepare the brain to take Monday by storm. Workaholics are advised to take note (and print the chart and tape it to their laptop).

difference between 'made by me' and 'made by myself'

made by me - (Made by me = I made it.)
made by myself - (Made by myself = I made it alone, with no one else' help.)


What is the difference between Made by Me and Made by Myself?

(I'm usually saying "made by me'' not "made by myself")

  •  No difference..both say you made it..so say it however you want.

  • Made by me = I made it. 
    Made by myself = I made it alone, with no one else' help.

  • I is use as the subject of a sentence - I gave her a kiss. 
    Me is used as the object (direct or inirect) of a sentence - she gave me a kiss. 
    Myself is an emphatic version of I and me: 

    I myself prefer . . . 
    Who should I speak to? Myself. 

    For this reason, people often use 'myself' when they don't know whether to use I or me!


By Me or By Myself: what's the difference?

difference between cooperate and collaborate

cooperate - (
For starters, they are synonyms.
There is a subtle difference however.
  • When you cooperate with someone you work with them, help them, do what someone has asked or told you to do. And you do it without complaining or arguing.
  • Cooperation could just mean that you've given me help on something I'm working on and that I'm ultimately responsible for.)

collaborate - (

  • If you collaborate with me on a project, we have shared authorship.

  • ollaboration is linked to "agreement" (like a contract for a common short-term benefit

  • Collaborate means to work together with 2 or more people to produce a piece of work. It’s a co-production. Collaborate is particularly used in the context of whole-of-government contexts, or multi-agency contexts. In other words, to produce a result when multiple agencies are involved, all players must collaborate – work together to produce a result.)

difference between tune and melody

tune - (If someone were to say to me "He played a delightful little melody on the piano", I'd expect him to have used a single finger, while "a delightful little tune" is more likely to have involved both hands.)
melody - (If someone were to say to me "He played a delightful little melody on the piano", I'd expect him to have used a single finger, while "a delightful little tune" is more likely to have involved both hands.)


What's the difference between a tune and a melody?


  • Tune can mean a song as a whole as well as its main musical theme, while melody is usually restricted to the latter, at least nowadays. If someone were to say to me "He played a delightful little melody on the piano", I'd expect him to have used a single finger, while "a delightful little tune" is more likely to have involved both hands. ("A delightful little song" would remove all ambiguity.)  Melody is more likely than tune to be used in opposition to harmony. If you're singing in the choir and ask "who has the melody at the fifth measure", the answer will be (probably) "the sopranos"; but if you ask "who has the tune", you'll either get puzzled looks, or someone will play an A on the piano. It's a bit subjective, but I think tune is less formal than melody: if you're whistling it, it's a tune, but if Maria Callas sang it, it's a melody.

  • Mainly spelling. That is, tune and melody are very, very similar; I would treat them as synonyms. The MacOS X dictionary (not a dreadfully authoritative source of information) defines 'tune' as MELODY and 'melody' as TUNE, supporting my contention. There are other words used in the definitions, but they come up very similar:

Difference between - Even though, Even if, Even when & Even so

These expressions are not always interchangeable; the context of the sentence will affect your choice:

"Even though" is used when something is always done or a fact is mentioned.

"Even when" is used when something is occasionally done.

"Even if" is used when something is rarely done or just imagined.

Even So

"Even so" is very much like the word "but" or "however." "Even so" is different in that it is used with surprising or unexpected results.

Examples:

She is loud and unfriendly. Even so, I like her.
She is loud and unfriendly, so it is unexpected that I like her.

8 Tips for British English Pronunciation

I think it is very helpful in pronunciation. There in the world are so many accents of English, so don't be shy about how you are listened to others. it just doesn't matter, but just try your best to say it clearly. English people are non-rhotic speakers. But some others country's people are very rhotic speakers because they say /r/ very clear such as Russian, Mongolian, Scottish  . Sometimes it is very annoying to listen. So just don't worry about whether you can say /r/ or not. (I love you Jade. you are inspiring me)

difference between "," he said. " ." and " ," he said, " ."

“I was thinking,” she said, “that maybe you could teach me.” - (here after "said" if you put comma, in double quotation, the first letter should not be capitalized  )
“I was thinking,” she said. “That maybe you could teach me.” - (here after "said" if you put period, in double quotation, the first letter should be capitalized )
If the dialog tag is in the middle of a character speaking, then the dialog is not capitalized after the tag unless it starts a new sentence.  For example:
“I was thinking,” she said, “that maybe you could teach me.” [RIGHT]
“I was thinking,” she said, “That maybe you could teach me.” [WRONG]
“I love that dog,” she said. “He’s so cute.” [RIGHT]
“I love that dog,” she said, “he’s so cute.” [WRONG]

difference between the same as or the same with

the same as - ()
the same with - ()



"the same with" and "the same as"

(I know they have different meaning and usage by looking up dictionary and google it. But I am still not clear at their different, and in what situation I should use which one.

I was told that, "the same with" could be explained as the "the same situations with " like following sentence:

"John did not go to school today" "It is same with Mary"


As to "the same as" , it could be explained as " the same thing as", like:
"I have the same dreams as you")

difference between 'as well as' and 'and'

She is clever as well as beautiful - (it means she is beautiful and she is also clever - but in this situation people already know she is beautiful because the speaker used 'the clever' to tell the people that is not mentioned before)

She is clever and beautiful - (she is both clever and beautiful. here people don't know she is both clever and beautiful. they heard first time when speaker said it)

As well as has a similar meaning to not only … but also.
  • She is clever as well as beautiful. (= She is not only beautiful, but also clever.)
Note that as well as introduces information which is already known to the listener/ reader; the rest of the sentence gives new information.


“as well” instead of “and”

(In my university publications, I notice that many enumerations use "as well" [1] instead of "and" [2]. Is this just to make the text look more sophisticated or is there a real semantic difference? When should I use one or the other?
[1] "The algorithm can process text as well as binary files."
[2] "The algorithm can process text and binary files.")

asking question about what you don't understand

this site is very useful because if you don't know and understand anything in English, you can just pick up the section "ask question" and type what you want to ask. People answer your question. in this site, you only don't ask English questions. you can ask any kind of questions regarding the topics, for example, if you want to ask a question related to mathematics, you should choose mathematics section and then write the question. similarly if you want to ask English question, you should choose the English section and ask the questions. for this site you can use the following link

http://stackoverflow.com/   --- if you want to read about this site you can read the following information. to log in this site, the pass and email are in the unpublished post of blogger. Remember this site consists of many sites (each site means sections such as English. Mathematics, so on), so i think each one requires an account for example, English question section and Mathematics question section have different accounts

http://english.stackexchange.com/   ---- it is English question section. so by using this link, you can ask any kind of questions related to English. it is so useful to learn English when have something we don't know while we are learning English. by the way you need account for this English question section




difference between 'i have gotta go' and 'i gotta go'

i have gotta go (Both "I've gotta go." and "I gotta go." are just the way that people speak sometimes, and they mean the exact same thing.)


i gotta go(Both "I've gotta go." and "I gotta go." are just the way that people speak sometimes, and they mean the exact same thing.)



I've gotta go, I gotta go


(While I am watching American TV series, I sometimes see a sentence; Ive gotta go.

But, sometimes an actor says I gotta go instead of I've gotta go

Is there any difference between those things??)

difference between 'between she and me' and 'between her and me'

'between she and me' (wrong)

'between her and me'(Correct)between” is a preposition. That means it starts a prepositional phrase. For instance: I got a flat tire between here and the office. “Between here and the office” is the phrase. Prepositions are followed by “objects. Never “subjects. And say… between her and me

Grammar Guide: Why "Between You and I" is a Big Mistake


Just between you and me, a really bad error in English is all caused by the word “between.”
For some unknown reason, lots of people want to say: between you and I… between she and I… between me and him… between he and I… all of these are, of course, WRONG.
And, it’s so easy to get these right. Let’s look.
The word “between” is a preposition. A preposition is a word like: in, of, on, about, after, - and a lot more. A prepositional phrase is like the following: in the store, of my own, on the bus, etc.
Sorry for getting technical, but it gets easy soon.
So, “between” is a preposition. That means it starts a prepositional phrase. For instance: I got a flat tire between here and the office. “Between here and the office” is the phrase.
Now, everybody knows the difference between personal pronouns, right?
SUBJECT   OBJECT

difference between explain me and explain to me

Explain to me / explain me

(Hi all

I know the correct way is explain to me, however I don't know if there is any rule about this.

Can you please provide me more information about this kind of verbs? Or some verbs with which I have to do the same.

Thank you)

  • Talk (hablar) would be another. And "listen" (escuchar). You would say "talk to me", and "listen to me" (not "talk me" and "listen me"). I'm sorry I don't know the grammar rule. Other verbs don't need the word "to" before the indirect object. For example, the word, "tell". You can just say "tell me" - not "tell to me". Maybe someone knows the grammar rule. I think it just depends on the word.

'too' in negative sentence

"Too" in negative sentences: How can I define it?


(Hello everyone,



I learned that "too" can be used by native speakers in negative sentences. I know that it's a non-standard use. My question is: how can I define "too" in this case?



a. Used in colloquial English
b. Used in colloquial English but not recommended
c. Even though it occurs in natural English, it is a bad use of "too" which nobody should copy.



Ex.: I don't want to stay here too.




I personally prefer letter (c). And you? What do you think?


Thank you in advance!)
