Why would you compare revenue to income?

- mikeash 10y agoRevenue is the money that comes in, ignoring expenses. Income is the money that comes in, ignoring expenses. They are exactly equivalent.
- lotsofpulp 10y agoIn the context of discussing a company's finances, income is usually short for net income, which is also known as earnings or profit, or revenue minus expenses.
- mikeash 10y agoIn this case, they're comparing a company's revenue to a person's income, so "income" as applies to a company's finances is irrelevant.
