How Does the Offering Calculator Work?
The offering calculator is designed to help you determine how much to contribute as offerings based on your salary and a chosen percentage. It functions similarly to a tithe or donation calculator but gives you the flexibility to set any offering rate you wish. When you input your income, select how often you receive it, and set your desired offering percentage, the calculator first determines your total annual income. It then calculates the total annual offering based on your percentage and breaks that amount down into six different time periods—weekly, bi-weekly, semi-monthly, monthly, quarterly, and yearly—so you can see what your contribution would be on any schedule. This is useful for churchgoers, supporters of nonprofits, and anyone wanting to budget their giving responsibly.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q1. How do you calculate an offering?
A: You can calculate an offering by multiplying your income by the percentage you wish to give. For example, if your income is $1,500 and you want to give a 5% offering, the calculation is: `$1500 × 0.05 = $75`.
Q2. How much should I give as an offering?
A: Unlike a tithe, which is traditionally a set 10%, an offering is a voluntary amount determined by personal choice and faith. Many people choose a percentage they are comfortable with, such as 2%, 5%, or more, in addition to their tithe. There is no fixed rule.
Q3. Is offering the same as tithe?
A: In most faith traditions, they are different. A tithe is typically considered a required "tenth" (10%) of your income given to the church. An offering is a free-will gift given over and above the tithe, often for specific missions, building funds, or as a general act of worship.
Q4. How to calculate offering from monthly salary?
A: To calculate an offering from a monthly salary, simply enter your monthly income amount into the calculator, select "Monthly" as the income period, and enter your desired offering percentage. The tool will provide the exact amount instantly.
