‘Revenue’ is the gross amount earned from selling goods or providing services during the period shown in the heading of the income statement. In other words, revenues are the amount earned before deducting the cost of goods sold, expenses, and losses. Whereas ‘Earnings’ are the net amount earned after deducting the cost of goods sold, expenses and losses. It is often presented as net earnings or net income.
