How to Use This Calculator
Enter your income and select whether you want to calculate your tithe on your gross (before-tax) income or your net (after-tax) income. Adjust the percentage with the slider — the default is 10%, which is the traditional tithe, but you can set any amount.
Gross vs. Net: What's the Difference?
Gross income is what you earn before taxes, CPP, and EI are deducted. If your salary is $75,000, that's your gross. Net income is what lands in your bank account after deductions — typically 25–35% less, depending on your province and tax bracket.
Tithing on gross means you give 10% of $75,000 = $7,500/year. Tithing on net (at a 28% tax rate) means you give 10% of $54,000 = $5,400/year. The difference is real — about $175/month — and worth thinking through honestly.
What Does the Bible Say?
The tithe (a tenth) appears throughout the Old Testament as an act of worship and acknowledgment that God owns everything. In the New Testament, the emphasis shifts from a fixed percentage to proportional, cheerful, and sacrificial giving. Many pastors teach 10% as a starting point — not as a legalistic floor, but as a disciplined practice that trains the heart toward generosity.
