Breakage Revenue

Breakage revenue refers to income recognized from unused prepaid amounts, such as gift cards or advance payments that customers never redeem. Businesses estimate and recognize this revenue over time based on historical patterns. Proper handling ensures compliance with revenue recognition standards and avoids overstating liabilities.
