This value represents (should) the total amount of money your business brought in based on the sales of a specific item or service, or all of your items or services. When you get your revenue, for example, let's say it is $45,000, that means the total amount of money people spent on your products or services to you was 45,000. This number will not represent how much you get to keep or make, that is called profit.

To find the revenue generated from this service you would do: Revenue = 750 x 25 to get a total revenue of $18,750.
