Revenue is the total amount of money a company earns from selling its products or services during a specific period. It represents the income generated from the company’s main business activities before any expenses are deducted.

Revenue shows how much money a company generates from its core operations.
Revenue is often the starting point of a company’s financial results. From this amount, businesses must pay costs such as production expenses, salaries, marketing, interest, and taxes. After all these costs are deducted, the remaining amount becomes the company’s profit or loss. Investors monitor revenue closely because consistent revenue growth can indicate that a company is expanding and attracting more customers.
Short example:
Suppose a company sells 10,000 products during a year.
Each product is sold for $50.
The total revenue for that year is $500,000. From this amount the company still needs to pay expenses such as production costs, wages, and marketing before calculating its final profit.
