Current Income

Categories: Econ, Banking

Your income right now.

Also, in investing terms, it's the amount of income you draw from your investments. This amount includes things like cash from interest and dividends. And if you own property, the amount of rent you earn from your tenants.

The current income does not include any money you make from the value of your assets moving up. That total is called capital appreciation. Current income is the earnings (meaning the income) derived from your investments.
