Comprehensive income

Comprehensive income is all the money a company has made or lost during a certain period of time, including things that aren’t usually counted as regular income. Regular income is money that comes in from selling products or services, but comprehensive income includes things like profits or losses from investments, changes in values of assets or debts, foreign exchange rates, and other special transactions. It’s like a big basket that holds all the various kinds of money that a company has earned or lost. Comprehensive income helps people understand a company’s financial health more completely, since it looks at all forms of income and expenses, even the ones that might not be immediately obvious.
