How Much Should I Tithe?
A tithe means “a tenth.” Traditionally, many Christians give 10% of their income to their local church. While the New Testament focuses more on generous and cheerful giving than a strict percentage, 10% remains a helpful and widely practiced guideline.
Gross vs Net Income
Gross income is your pay before taxes and deductions.
Net income is what you actually receive in your bank account.
Many people choose to tithe on gross income because it follows the idea of giving the “first fruits.” Others prefer to start with net income, especially when money is tight. The most important thing is consistency and a willing heart.
