Finance & Money

Pro tip: ingreso and salario both involve money received, but they are not interchangeable. Ingreso covers all sources of revenue such as rent, dividends, and sales, while salario refers only to wages paid for work. A company earns ingresos, never salarios.

Ganancia refers strictly to profit after costs are subtracted. A company can have high ingresos and still report zero ganancia if expenses are equally high. Confusing revenue with profit is one of the most common mistakes in business Spanish.
