The money obtained from a sale, event, or fundraising activity. In Japanese, the most common equivalent is 収益 (shūeki) for business contexts, but specific terms like 売上金 (uriagekin) for sales proceeds or 募金 (bokin) for charity donations are often more natural.

The English word 'proceeds' is often translated as 収益, but in many contexts a more specific term is better. Using 収益 for charity donations can sound unnatural; use 募金 or 寄付金 instead.
