Tax Deduction Formulas
Tax Savings = Total Donated × Tax Bracket Rate
Where:
• Total Donated = Sum of all contributions
• Tax Bracket Rate = Your marginal tax rate
• Net Cost = Total Donated – Tax Savings
For example:
$1,000 donation at 22% tax rate:
Tax Savings = $1,000 × 0.22 = $220
Net Cost = $1,000 – $220 = $780
Example Impact Calculation
Example: $1,200 Annual Donation
Donation: $100 monthly × 12 months
Tax Bracket: 24%
Years: 5
Calculation:
Total Donated = $1,200 × 5 = $6,000
Tax Savings = $6,000 × 0.24 = $1,440
Net Cost = $6,000 – $1,440 = $4,560
Impact:
• 2,400 meals at food bank ($2.50/meal)
• 120 malaria bed nets ($50/net)
• 24 school kits for children ($250/kit)
