Not looking to start a religious debate here, just curious what others do. For those who pay a tithe to their church, what do you calculate that on? Total pre tax, after tax, after deductions, etc?

I don't believe in a 10% tithe as a Christian but do believe in generosity. Before, when I was a staunch tither I did 10% on gross income. Now, my wife and I give both to our local church and several other ministries monthly and the total is much more than 10% with a goal to increase it every year. It's a fun part of doing my taxes seeing the growth in our generosity year over year. In a few more years we'll be giving away more than we pay in taxes!

this is my take if you as a believer decide am going to give $500,$1000,$5000 and more as tithe then do it faithfully because its a personal affair just give and know thats it tithe my pastor asks for tithe then later allows you to give love offering so give what you have agreed in your heart to give as tithe and just be faithfully and cheerful not how much matter its how you give matters

I give 10% of my net pay I receive in my bank account on a biweekly basis. I have received loads of benefits paying my tithe, knowing that out of which God has blessed me I am returning with my tithe and offering to the church. I don’t miss up my charity to others as a tithe as they are separate. I have seen people offset their charity against tithe, not sure that is righ.

According to the Bible, you tithe 10% of your pay. It doesn't specify on love offerings. Not that I can recall. Hope that helps.

gross earnings.

I do 10% of take home, then if I get a tax refund, I tithe off of that. I should probably be doing gross, but damn that’s a lot of $$$ lol

Your heart is in the right place mate. Well done!. Do what your heart tells you to do :)
