The term 'bottom line figure' refers to a financial calculation that is used to determine the overall success or failure of a business venture. It is calculated by taking the NET (3 letters), SUM (3 letters), TOTAL (5 letters), netcost (7 letters), netgain (7 letters) and netloss (7 letters) into account. The bottom line figure is the final result of all these calculations, and it can be used to determine whether a business has made a profit or a loss.
