Calculate your tithe and plan your giving. Whether you tithe on gross or net income, this calculator helps you budget faithfully and plan special offerings.
Tithing is a deeply rooted practice across African Christianity, from Pentecostal and Charismatic churches to Catholic and Anglican congregations. The word "tithe" literally means "tenth" — giving 10% of your income to the church or religious organization. Across Nigeria, Kenya, Ghana, South Africa, and other African nations, tithing is practiced by millions of believers as an act of faith and obedience.
This calculator helps you determine your tithe amount based on your income, whether you choose to tithe on gross or net salary. It also helps you plan additional offerings, track annual giving totals, and budget faithfully.
This is a personal conviction. Tithing on gross income means giving 10% of your full salary before deductions. Tithing on net income means giving 10% of your take-home pay. Both approaches are valid — the Bible encourages cheerful giving from the heart (2 Corinthians 9:7).
Many believers tithe on all income including bonuses, 13th month salary, gifts, and side hustle earnings. Others tithe only on regular salary. Follow your conviction and discuss with your pastor if unsure.
Tithing is a personal spiritual decision. While Malachi 3:10 speaks of bringing "the whole tithe into the storehouse," the New Testament emphasizes generous, cheerful, and purposeful giving (2 Corinthians 9:6-7). Many churches encourage but don't mandate tithing.
