Gross is a term that is added to a number to show the reader that the number is the outline number and a lot of factors haven't been considered which will lower the number considerably.

Eg. Claire's GROSS income last year was 90000 and her NET income was 60000. That means Claire's salary was 90000 and after taxes and other deductions she took home 60000 in cash.

This example uses a woman's salary but "gross" can be applied to other numbers like profits.

When you hear about a company's revenue, the number they gave you is always the GROSS number. A company's "gross" profit or "revenue" for a year could be 1 million but if their supplies, bills, rent and employee wages costed them 950000 for the year, the owner only made a NET profit of 50000. Always be weary of revenue numbers sounding too good.
