Flemish term

zakencijfer

Flemish to English Bus/Financial Business/Commerce (general) staff costs
This is listed in someone's Proz glossary as 'profit and loss account', but it doesn't seem quite right here. Context is working out staff costs in a bar/restaurant. This is an alternative to the option of multiplying the gross pay by a factor (to include social security etc.):

Voor de bar en de bediening kan ook het systeem van % op de verkoop toegepast worden.
Dit % bedraagt momenteel 11,4 % op het zakencijfer, inclusief B.T.W.
Proposed translations (English)
2 +5 Sales
5 +1 (total) revenue

would be my gut feeling, but I can't be sure.

agree Evert DELOOF-SYS : alhoewel niet 100% met dat 'sales'. Een bedrijf kan ook inkomsten hebben uit andere bronnen. Zakencijfer staat gewoon voor totale omzet

Do you mean operating income?
