Example:
In my job, I travel extensively, appraising real estate. If I were to see 100 homes and businesses here in my home area, it would pay X dollars. If I see 100 of the same in Philadelphia, Miami, Salt Lake City or anywhere in the nation, the salary would be the same. However, it costs me a lot of money to get to those faraway places. So my company tells me, if you go do these 100 in City Y, we will reimburse your travel expenses. Last month I spent 9 days working in Santa Barbara. I paid for my flight, hotels, car, and gas upfront out of my own pocket, which came out to $1700. Then in addition to the standard salary, my company reimbursed me for those expenses. I tithe the salary. I don't tithe the $1700. |

What's so tough about paying on the cash you receive.
My gross pay is 1k. My net pay is $800 My tithing is $80. Its simple and easy to compute. When I retire and get payouts from my 401k savings I will pay 10% of my payout. when I get a social security check I will pay 10% of that.

Did you really just use non-white shirts at Sacrament meeting and gay marriage in the same sentence?

I came over here from CB to get away from the stupid net or gross questions.

I have posted the solution to this before, but here it is again. Do not take any chances of going to hell because you shorted God a few thousand bucks. Here are the instructions to proper tithing payment:
1. Open an separate bank account with two authorized users, you and God. 2. Deposit 11% of your GROSS income in the account to make certain you haven't robbed God. 3. Wait for God to take his money. 4. After 7 years (a good biblical number) you can assume that whatever God hasn't taken, he doesn't want. God is not a thief. He will not take more than is rightfully his. 5. You must tithe the interest you earned on the money during the seven years. |

Jay, why are you asking for someone to make a case? If you want to pay on your gross or net (taxable income or whatever), that is certainly your business. The church doesn't ask you to distinguish during your interviews. Not in my experience anyway.
