verbrengst

Verbrengst is a Dutch noun used in finance, accounting, and law to refer to the value obtained from a transaction, activity, or process. In everyday usage it most often denotes proceeds or yield, such as the money realized from selling an asset or the result of a project.

The term is formed from the verb brengen, meaning to bring, with the suffix -st and the prefix ver-, which in Dutch commonly yields nouns that express a result or consequence. In practice, verbrengst signals a realized amount rather than potential value.

In formal financial and legal texts, verbrengst is used alongside related terms such as opbrengst, rendement, and winst. Verbrengst tends to emphasize the actual monetary value realized from a specific event, whereas opbrengst can be broader (including non-monetary gains) and rendement focuses on rate of return.

Common contexts include the verbrengst uit verkoop van assets, verbrengst van schikkingen, or de jaarlijkse verbrengst van een beleggingsfonds. The term is most prevalent in formal reports, financial statements, and regulatory documents where precise accounting for realized value is required.
