Net income is defined as the difference between the net assets (assets minus liabilities) at the beginning of a period and net assets at the end of the period, excluding owners' contributions and distributions during the period.^[1]

It is the result of a company's operations and reflects its efficiency in resource management, expense control, and revenue generation. It includes all operational income and expenses, such as sales of goods or services, production costs, administrative expenses, taxes, and other financial indicators.

The calculation of net income includes the deduction of all necessary expenses, such as employee salaries, rent, utilities, taxes, and other mandatory payments. After deducting all these expenses from the total income, the remainder is considered the company's net profit.
