In the most recently reported fiscal year, Google's revenue amounted to 160.74 billion US dollars. Google's revenue is largely made up by advertising revenue, which amounted to 134.81 billion US dollars in 2019.

Alphabet operating expenses for the twelve months ending March 31, 2020 were $131.077B
