Description

Earned income refers to money received for work performed, typically through wages, salaries, or self-employment. It is a key concept in financial and tax contexts, distinguishing it from unearned income such as interest or dividends.

Interpreter Notes

Interpreters should maintain a formal register when discussing earned income, as it often arises in financial assessments or tax-related conversations. Common variants that may be encountered include 'renta ganada' and 'ingreso laboral', but it is essential to stick to the glossary term in formal contexts to avoid confusion.

Example Sentences

EN: Many families rely on earned income to support their daily expenses.

ES: Muchas familias dependen del ingreso devengado para cubrir sus gastos diarios.

Common Interpreter Mistakes

Confusing 'ingreso devengado' with 'ingreso pasivo'; mixing up terminology related to different types of income; mispronouncing 'devengado' as 'devengado' with incorrect stress.
