General education, not halachic advice. Ask your rav about your situation.
How people use it.
Getting started
- Pick your baseline. Most calculate maaser on net income after taxes; some use gross.
- Deduct business costs. If you’re self-employed, legitimate business expenses come off first.
- Track a period. Twelve months shows your yearly obligation and progress.
- Stay current. Update “given to date” as you give.
Common questions
- Gifts. Money received as a gift (wedding, inheritance) is subject to maaser.
- Investment gains. Profits and capital gains are subject to maaser.
- What counts. Maaser money is for tzedakah, not for other mitzvos or shul dues.
- Family. Supporting adult children who are learning or in need may count, if they are not your obligation.
Practical tips
- Automate it. Move maaser to a separate account when income arrives.
- Keep records. A simple log of what you owed and gave.
- Ask your rav. Every situation is different.
- Be consistent. A steady 10% beats an ambitious 20% you can’t keep.
