| Scenario | Tithe amount | Income kept |
|---|---|---|
| 10% of $60,000 | 6,000 | 54,000 |
| 10% of $4,500 | 450 | 4,050 |
| 5% of $80,000 | 4,000 | 76,000 |
| 15% of $52,000 | 7,800 | 44,200 |
How This Calculator Works
Enter your income and the giving percentage. A tithe is traditionally 10%, but you can enter any figure. The calculator multiplies income by the percentage to find the tithe and shows the income kept.
The Formula
Percentage of an Amount
Amount is the base value, Percentage is the rate applied to it
Worked Example
On $60,000 of income, a 10% tithe is $6,000, leaving $54,000. The same method works for any period — apply it to a paycheck, a month, or a full year.
Key Insight
Whether a tithe is figured on gross or net income is a personal choice, and the two give meaningfully different amounts. Decide which basis you will use and apply it consistently.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a tithe?
A tithe is a portion of income given, traditionally to a religious community. The word means a tenth, so a tithe is classically 10% of income.
Should I tithe on gross or net income?
It is a personal decision. Gross income produces a larger tithe than net; many people pick one basis and keep to it consistently.
Does the tithe have to be 10%?
Ten percent is the traditional figure, but giving is a personal choice. The calculator accepts any percentage, higher or lower.
How often should I calculate it?
Whatever suits you — per paycheck, monthly, or annually. Enter the income for that period and the tithe is calculated the same way.
Is a tithe tax-deductible?
Charitable giving may be tax-deductible if it goes to a qualifying organization and you itemize. Confirm the rules and keep records of your giving.
