Say that you run a business, and at the end of last week you had taken in a total of $20,000. This is not your net. The $20,000 is your gross income. You aren't free to take all that money and spend it any way you like. You may have business rent to pay, utilities, equipment and supplies costs, and a payroll to meet. After paying all of your obligations out of the gross amount, what you have left is the net.
