God simply wants you to give back 10% of what you get from him. Don't go complicating matters by asking whether it is before or after tax, before or after expenses (for business people) etc.
you know what you get from God, don't you? Then work out a tenth and give back. It's really that simple.
If you don't know how much God gives you, then you are either an ignorant idiot, or you have absolutely no intention of giving back...that's why you are asking for formulas!
Remember, God loves the cheerful giver... not the one who is looking for a mathematical formula that will ensure he/she gives no more and no less.
Nothing is real unless it can be named; nothing has value unless it can be sold; money is worthless unless you spend it.
