What us the difference between consumer surplus and producer surplus?

Consumer surplus is the difference between what consumers are willing to pay for a good or service and what they actually pay, representing the benefit to consumers from purchasing at a lower price. Producer surplus, on the other hand, is the difference between what producers are willing to accept for a good or service and the price they actually receive, reflecting the benefit to producers from selling at a higher price. Together, these surpluses measure the overall economic welfare or benefits derived from market transactions.
