The noun UNEARNED INCOME has 2 senses: 1. personal income that you did not earn (e.g., dividends or interest or rent income). 2. (accounting) income received but not yet earned (usually considered a current liability on a company's balance sheet). Familiarity information: UNEARNED INCOME used as a noun is rare.
Earned income includes any income that a person or company receives for work they have done. If your boss gives you an advance on your next check, this would be considered unearned income because you haven't yet done anything to earn it. RELATED TERMS.
