Practically, all companies calculate their net income the same way.
All business profit and loss accounts are structured like this:
Turnover
--Less variable costs
= Gross profit
--Less fixed costs
= Net income
This applies with the qualification that e.g. some consultancies do not have variable costs - only fixed costs.
Turnover
Turnover is an accounts term covering a company's total proceeds from sale. The accounting treatment of this amount must be less VAT, as the VAT which a company charges on its sales must be pay to Told & Skat and thus does not constitute an income.
Variable costs
Such costs are also referred to as direct costs or - in a trading company - costs of sales. Variable costs are costs varying relative to sales. Some examples:
Gross profit
Also referred to as contribution margin. Gross profit is the turnover less variable costs, but including other costs.
Often, variable costs are an almost stable percentage of the turnover. Thus, the gross profit can be determined as a similar stable percentage of the turnover.
Gross profit varies depending on type of industry. The contribution margin may be 65% for a restaurant, while it could be 20% for a kiosk.
Fixed costs
Also referred to indirect costs or overhead costs. Such costs are not as fixed as the term may imply - they often vary. This, however, does not make them variable. Variable costs vary relative to the turnover, while fixed costs can vary relative to all other parameters. E.g. rent is a fixed cost.
Net income
Also referred to as profit/loss or proprietor's salary. Net income is the proceeds a proprietor makes from running his/her business. Net income does not always exist in terms of cash. It can be partly or fully tied-up in stocks or balance due from customers.
