How to say "turnover" in Japanese
- 売り上げうりあげnounTurnover as the amount sold: the money a business or shop takes in from its sales. The natural choice for sales figures, results, and targets in ordinary business talk.
- 商いあきないnounAlso turnover as sales or takings, but with the nuance of the trade itself — a shop's or merchant's dealing in goods — rather than the bare figure; chosen when that mercantile activity is in view.
Both cover turnover as sales or takings: use 「売り上げ」 when you simply mean the amount sold or money taken in, and 「商い」 when the emphasis is on a shop's or merchant's trade. Neither fits staff or stock turnover.
