Profit Basics. Profit is the long-term objective of any for-profit business. Profit is the net income of the business. In general, profit equals revenue less expenses. However, companies typically calculate multiple measures of profit on an income statement. Gross profit shows the total revenue minus the variable costs, or cost of goods sold. Operating income and non-operating activities are added or subtracted to gross profit to determine total profit for a given period.
Revenue is the income a business receives for selling, renting or licensing its goods or services -- plus any investment gains -- during a specific period of time, before subtracting all costs associated with running a business, such as labor, materials and overhead, including taxes.or example, if a companyâs total revenue for selling light bulbs is $300 and its total cost to produce light bulbs is $50, its gross profit is $250.
