Usage Note

Beneficio means both 'benefit' (an advantage) and 'profit' (financial gain), so context is key: el beneficio del ejercicio = 'the benefit of exercise', while el beneficio neto = 'net profit'. The phrase en beneficio de means 'for the benefit of'. Do not confuse with beneficencia, which refers specifically to charity or welfare.
