収支 (shūshi) is a Sino-Japanese compound of 収 (shū, "take in") and 支 (shi, "pay out"), which together contrast money coming in with money going out.
Usage tips
- Unlike English balance in many contexts, 収支 (shūshi) names the income-and-expense relationship itself, so it can describe either a surplus or a deficit.
