complessivi

Complessivi is an Italian term that functions as both an adjective and a noun in the masculine plural form, with feminine forms complessiva (singular) and complessive (plural). It denotes the total amount or the overall figure obtained by summing multiple components. The word is widely used in finance, accounting, statistics, and general discourse to indicate a comprehensive total rather than individual parts.

As an adjective, complessivo describes something that encompasses all parts or elements, such as valore complessivo (overall value), costo complessivo (total cost), or reddito complessivo (total income). In budgetary or financial contexts, the term highlights that figures include all relevant components, taxes, fees, and ancillary items. In statistics or performance reports, complessivi refers to aggregate measures like punteggi complessivi (overall scores) or risultati complessivi (overall results).

In tax and accounting language, the term often appears in phrases such as reddito complessivo or costo complessivo, where it signals the sum of all contributing factors. The word is closely related to totali and globali, but complessivo emphasizes the aspect of aggregation from distinct elements into a single figure. The adverbial form is complessivamente, used to describe actions done in a comprehensive or overall manner.
