annual income
The total amount of all income that a person or household earns within one year. This can include salary, but also other income such as from renting property or capital assets.
Für den Kreditantrag musste sie ihr komplettes Jahreseinkommen nachweisen.
For the loan application, she had to provide proof of her complete annual income.
The word is clearly made up of 'Jahres-' (of the year) and 'Einkommen' (income). So it literally describes the income that you receive over an entire year.

'Jahreseinkommen' (annual income) is a rather formal term that is often used in official, financial, or legal contexts, for example at banks, government offices, or in statistics.

Common verbs with 'Jahreseinkommen' (annual income) are 'angeben' (to state), 'nachweisen' (to provide proof of), or 'betragen' (to amount to). It is also often combined with adjectives such as 'durchschnittlich' (average), 'hoch' (high), or 'niedrig' (low).

salary / content
'das Gehalt' and 'das Jahreseinkommen' both describe money that a person earns. However, 'Gehalt' means the regular payment from a job, often per month. 'Jahreseinkommen' means the total amount of all income in one year. This can include salary, but also money from renting property or other sources. Learners may confuse the words because an annual salary can be part of annual income. As a practical rule: for monthly pay in a job, you say 'Gehalt'. For the total amount for a whole year, you say 'Jahreseinkommen'.
