After expenses, Dua, 28, netted £21.7m in total during the year, meaning £59,000 per day was left in the coffers.
The numbers make her one of Britain’s highest earning musicians, only eight years after she launched her career.
The new figures were lodged at Companies House this weekend and signed off by auditors.
During the period, when she was on her Future Nostalgia world tour, her company made £17.9m in Europe and a further £18.5m in North America.
It will considerably boost Dua’s fortune after she was ranked 21st in Sunday Times Rich List for under-35s last year with an estimated £75m worth.
In total, Dua, who headlined Glastonbury for the first time last month, runs nine private firms.
She released her third album Radical Optimism in May, which featured three Top Ten hits: Houdini, Training Season and Illusion.
Dua will have another lucrative year in 2025, after announcing two headline shows at London’s Wembley Stadium which both sold out within a day.
The New Rules singer, who is now dating actor Callum Turner, 34, and is enjoying a summer break following a string of festival shows.
She will then prepare for a tour across Asia in November and December before returning to the UK.

It comes after she split from her management company in early 2022 and instead hired her dad as her manager.
Speaking about launching their own management, publishing and production company, Radical22, she said: “It’s about having control over my music, having the final say over what happens to it, how it gets synced.
“As an artist, it’s important to understand that this is a business. I’ve had to learn so much, so many things that you don’t expect are part of this job.”
On her dad, she told Music Week: “It was very easy to say, ‘This is the person that I trust the most with everything.
“He’s my best friend, we have such an open dialogue and that’s why I feel so in control, because there’s not a single email or thing that we wouldn’t talk about.
“Being in control of your name, your company… It would be cool if [other artists] are looking and wanting to re-evaluate their set-ups.”
