10 Calculating Net Income
Net income is what your business’s total profits are after subtracting your expenses. Net income might be negative, if your expenses are more than your profits. To be on sound financial footing, you want your net income to be positive. Business expenses include things like money spent on supplies, payroll, utilities, mortgage or rent, and taxes.
In order to calculate your net income, you take all your income, and then subtract all your expenses. Let’s say that your sales for the month totaled $14,685.52. Your mortgage payment was $1,764.23, your payroll expenses were $7,231.03, your utilities bill was $965.82, and your ingredients cost was $4,381.35. What was your net income for the month?
First we need to total your expenses. That would be $1,764.23 + $7,231.03 + $965.82 + $4,381.35 = $14,342.43.
Now, we take the total income and subtract the expenses: $14,685.52 – 14,342.43 = $343.09
The net income for the month is positive, which is good, but there is very little profit!
