intäkt

Intäkt is a Swedish word that translates to revenue or income in English. It generally refers to the money a company or individual earns from their normal business activities. For a business, intäkt typically arises from the sale of goods or services. This can include revenue from product sales, service fees, subscription charges, or licensing agreements. In a broader sense, intäkt can also encompass other forms of income, such as interest earned on investments or rental income from property. The term is fundamental in accounting and financial reporting, as it forms the basis for calculating profitability. Changes in intäkt are closely monitored to assess a company's performance and growth. It is distinct from profit, which is what remains after all expenses have been deducted from the intäkt. Understanding a company's intäkt is a key step in analyzing its financial health and operational success.
