Free Tithe Calculator

The Tithe Calculator is a comprehensive digital tool designed to help individuals calculate their tithe contributions based on their income. Rooted in the biblical principle of giving 10% of one's income, this app provides a user-friendly interface for determining appropriate tithe amounts while offering flexibility for different giving percentages and income frequencies.

What is Tithing?

Tithing is a spiritual practice found in many religious traditions, particularly in Christianity, where believers contribute a portion of their income to their church or religious organization. The word "tithe" literally means "tenth," traditionally representing 10% of one's income. The app includes the biblical reference from Malachi 3:10, which encourages believers to "bring the whole tithe into the storehouse" as an act of faith and obedience.

Key Features

Income Input System

The app allows users to enter their income amount in a clean, straightforward input field. Users can input any income amount, making it suitable for various financial situations, from modest earnings to substantial incomes.

Flexible Income Frequency Options

One of the app's standout features is its ability to handle different income frequencies:

• Monthly: For those who receive monthly salaries or wages
• Weekly: For weekly wage earners
• Bi-weekly: For those paid every two weeks
• Annual: For those who prefer to calculate based on yearly income

Multiple Tithe Percentage Options

The word of the Lord says we should give 10% of our income as tithing. We also added other percentages, as we recognize that some people may want to give certain percentages for other purposes. We offer the following preset options:

• 5%: For those who want to give for other financial purposes (Not for tithing)
• 10%: The tithe amount has instructed by God
• 15% - 20%: For those who wish to give for other major purposes.

Custom Percentage Feature

For maximum flexibility, the app includes a custom percentage input field where users can enter any percentage that aligns with their personal giving goals or religious convictions.

Comprehensive Calculation Display

Once calculated, the app provides a detailed breakdown showing:

• Total Income: The amount entered by the user
• Tithe Percentage: The selected or custom percentage
• Tithe Amount: The calculated contribution amount
• Remaining Amount: Income left after tithing

Annual Giving Breakdown

Our most valuable feature is the annual giving breakdown, which shows how your tithing or contribution amount translates across different time periods:

• Weekly: Shows the weekly contribution amount
• Monthly: Displays the monthly giving amount
• Quarterly: Provides quarterly contribution totals
• Yearly: Shows the annual giving total

How to Use the Tithe Calculator

Step 1: Enter Your Income

Step 2: Select Income Frequency

Step 3: Choose Your Tithe Percentage

Select from the preset percentage buttons (5%, 10%, 15%, or 20%) or enter a custom percentage in the "Custom Percentage" field. Note: 10% is for tithing and if you want to give more, increase the percentage.

Step 4: Calculate

Click the "CALCULATE TITHE" button to generate your results.

Step 5: Review Results

Examine the detailed breakdown showing your tithe amount, remaining income, and the annual giving breakdown across different time periods.

Practical Applications

While this app was specifically designed to help you calculate your tithing (10%), we have also expanded on this app to help you calculate other percentages for specific purposes:

Budget Planning

The app helps users integrate tithing into their budget planning by showing exactly how much they'll be contributing over various time periods.

Financial Goal Setting

By seeing the annual breakdown, users can better understand their yearly giving commitments and plan accordingly.

Consistency in Giving

The different frequency options help users maintain consistent giving regardless of how they're paid.

Exploring Different Giving Levels

Biblical Verses for Tithing

Old Testament Foundations

• Leviticus 27:30: "A tithe of everything from the land, whether grain from the soil or fruit from the trees, belongs to the Lord; it is holy to the Lord."
• Deuteronomy 14:22: "Be sure to set aside a tenth of all that your fields produce each year."
• Genesis 14:20: Abraham gave a tenth to Melchizedek, establishing one of the earliest examples of tithing in Scripture.
• Genesis 28:22: Jacob vowed, "And of all that you give me I will give you a tenth."

The Malachi Challenge

Malachi 3:8-10: "Will a man rob God? Yet you rob me. But you ask, 'How do we rob you?' In tithes and offerings. You are under a curse—your whole nation—because you are robbing me. Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me in this," says the Lord Almighty, "and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that there will not be room enough to store it."

This passage, featured in the app, represents God's direct challenge to His people regarding faithful tithing and includes a promise of abundant blessing.

New Testament Principles

• Matthew 23:23: Jesus affirmed tithing while emphasizing that it should not replace justice, mercy, and faithfulness: "Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You give a tenth of your spices—mint, dill and cumin. But you have neglected the more important matters of the law—justice, mercy and faithfulness. You should have practiced the latter, without neglecting the former."
• Luke 6:38: "Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you."
• 2 Corinthians 9:6-7: "Remember this: Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously. Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver."
• 1 Corinthians 16:2: "On the first day of every week, each one of you should set aside a sum of money in keeping with your income, saving it up, so that when I come no collections will have to be made."
