Definition
年终 (nián zhōng) is a formal noun for 'year-end', typically used in workplace or institutional contexts like reports (年终报告), bonuses (年终奖), or reviews. 年底 (nián dǐ) is the more general, everyday word for the end of the year in time expressions (e.g., 年底前). 年终 emphasizes the event or activity associated with the year's end rather than the calendar period itself.
