is there any difference between the words “Einnahme”, “Verdienst”, “Bezüge” ?

Are “Verdienst” and “Bezüge” more for like personal income, as in salary ?

and “Einnahme” is more for income as in opposite of “expense”, like for example in business where u calculate the “earnings” and “expenses” of the business ?

“Einnahmen” – this is mainly for businesses and it’s the money you take in. People also use it for the personal lives, but that’s not the core.

“Verdienst” – that is pretty much “earnings of a person”. So money that comes in due to some sort of work or investment. It does NOT include social security payments for example.

“Bezüge” – this is rather generic and means “money someone gets from someone”. It can include the salary, but also retirement payments and stuff like that.
