Steve has a point that knowing its position in the P&L might help.

I wonder if it means gross income/revenue from sales, as opposed to other sources of revenue, like rent and interest.

@Asker With P&L figures, it's always helpful to know what the number actually is and where it stands in the P&L account. So if you want a definitive answer, you'll probably need to figure it out for yourself.

Bear in mind that:
- Erloese are usually income items, so the Roherloese may well be *gross revenue* if that makes sense in your context.
- Profit is always revenue less some sort of expenses. *Gross profit* is revenue less cost of sales, and so is broadly equivalent to Rohertrag (https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rohertrag). Your Roherloese might be that.
- Margin, as pointed out already below, usually means profit expressed as a percentage, rather than the absolute number. So don't say margin here.
