Savings / Net Savings?

Savings / Net Savings?
When two terms are used in a document - savings, and net savings, exactly what is the difference?

Thanks.
Sorry I will be more specific, this is looking at a business proposal. I have an amount of savings that I am told they will make in a year from running the business differently, and I need to know what the net savings are.

I can't seem to find a definition of "net savings" as differing from an annual computation of moneys saved to be able to correctly answer the question.

ne11:  To get an answer to this question, you need to be more specific.
For instance, are you asking about the difference for a business?

Culture Warrior:  It could be a reflection of account analysis on your business account.

For example, if you are required to maintain a $10,000 balance in your business account to avoid fees than anything over that could be swept to a money market account for income generation.
