Passive income is money earned with minimal ongoing effort after the initial setup.
It flows regularly from sources such as investments, rental properties, royalties, and digital products.

Active income, on the other hand, requires consistent effort or work to earn, like a traditional job. While active income ceases when work stops, passive income continues. Creating and managing passive streams demands effort upfront, but it offers potential for greater financial freedom over time.

The major difference is that you can make money while working on active income and that is only how to make money while you don't even have to work before you earn on passive income.

The name alone says it all. Passive income mainly has to do with earning without any effort while active income has to do with you working hard to earn your money.

Passive income is a type of income that only requires a little activity, such as returns from investment instruments that you own, stocks, staking crypto, bonds, deposits, mutual funds, receiving rent, there are also opinions that classify passive income as part-time work such as freelance, stock trading, etc. Meanwhile, active income is generated from main work, such as being an office employee, factory worker, offline trader, etc.

The salary from a job in all the cases is not enough for a month spending that is why the most people working a job are doing freelancing staffs because if they still limited to salary from company then they will be in difficult money situation and goes to money borrowing with a fee from borrowers or banks.

Passive income is the money one earns without actively working for it. It is different from active income because one does not need to work daily like in active income.
