Salary is the money I get from my employer to buy stuff with.

If I'm a shareholder of a company, then my cut of their profits (not revenue) is money I get to buy stuff with.

Profits is the money left over after expenses. This is not what salary represents to the average worker.

Edit: not a 3 year number
