Incassi

Incassi is the plural form of incasso in Italian, a term used in finance and commerce to refer to receipts or cash inflows. It denotes the money collected by a business, organization, or event from sales of goods and services, ticketing, or other operations. In everyday usage, incassi can describe both the total takings for a period and the inflow from a single transaction, and it is commonly contrasted with pagamenti (payments made) or cost-related terms.

Etymology and nuance: incasso derives from the verb incassare, meaning to collect payments; its root lies in cassa, the cash register or cash. The word emphasizes actual cash collection and is widely used in Italian accounting, retail, hospitality, media, and entertainment industries. In some contexts, incassi are reported as incassi in financial statements or press releases to highlight performance, particularly box-office or event takings in cinemas, theaters, and concert venues.

Nuances and synonyms: while ricavi or entrate refer more broadly to revenue or income recognized over a period, incassi emphasize the physical cash inflow or receivable collection. They can be complemented by terms such as incasso medio, incasso settimanale, or incasso al dettaglio to specify the nature or timeframe of receipts.
