Let's crunch some numbers. When managing finances, you won't always have exact figures. To express that an amount is a rough approximation, use the verb venir (conjugated to match the subject) followed by a and an infinitive (like ser, costar, or ganar).
| According to the estimate, the total roughly amounts to one thousand euros. | Según la estimación, el total viene a ser mil euros. |
| The trip roughly costs one hundred euros, that is why he pays the amount now. | El viaje viene a costar cien euros, por eso él paga el importe ahora. |
You will frequently hear this structure in business and personal finance when discussing figures like gross (bruto) and net (neto) amounts, or averages (el promedio).
| I would like to know the gross salary that she roughly earns annually. | Me gustaría saber el sueldo bruto que ella viene a ganar anualmente. |
| Normally, the net profit roughly amounts to one thousand euros monthly. | Normalmente, el beneficio neto viene a ser mil euros mensualmente. |
| The figure comes to reach about a thousand euros. | La cifra viene a alcanzar los mil euros. |
