「収入」 is the default for income — the total amount coming in. Use 「所得」 for income after expenses in tax or statistics, and 「収益」 for a company's earnings. Colloquially, 「稼ぎ」 is money earned by working, 「実入り」 the actual take-home, 「稼ぎ高」 the total earned; 「上がり高」 is rare. For spending, 「支出」 is the accounting opposite, 「出費」 everyday outlays, 「費用」 the cost of something.
