🙏 Tithe Calculator

A tithe is the traditional practice of giving one-tenth (10%) of one's income, with roots in biblical texts such as Genesis, Leviticus, and Malachi. The formula is simple: tithe = income × (percentage ÷ 100). For example, on a monthly income of $3,000 at 10%, the tithe is $300. This calculator defaults to 10% but lets you freely adjust the percentage based on personal circumstances or your community's practice. Lowering the rate to 5% or raising it to 15% on the same $3,000 income gives $150 or $450 respectively, and the traditional 10% reference amount is always shown alongside your custom result so you can compare.

Whether to tithe on gross (pre-tax) or net (take-home) income is a practical choice that varies by individual, denomination, and community — there is no universal rule. Using gross income applies the percentage before taxes and payroll deductions, producing a larger amount; using net income applies it to what actually lands in your bank account, producing a smaller amount. For example, on a $3,000 gross salary with a $2,700 take-home amount, a 10% tithe is $300 on a gross basis versus $270 on a net basis — a $30 difference. Whether to include bonuses, gifts, or other irregular income is likewise a matter of personal judgment. This calculator doesn't enforce either basis; it simply labels the choice so you can apply whichever convention fits your faith community or personal principles.
