Explanation:
In colloquial usage, you might say "unterm Strich", and that might fit your context just fine.

Schäfer, Hyperbook, lists the following:
bottom line
(com) Grundgeschäft n, Hauptsparte f
(ie, of a business, trade, or industry; syn, mainstay business)
(com) Endergebnis n (syn, final result)
(Fin) Endgewinn m od Endverlust m (ie, final profit or loss figure for a transaction)

You'll have to see which of those works within your context.
