A church tithe is 10% of your (gross) income (your increase). This is the portion which is due to God. An offering, on the other hand, is an amount over and above the tithe.
Additional Info:
The above is what is typically taught in many churches. However, paying 10 percent of your income to a church is not biblical.
According to The Bible, Christians are not required to pay tithes in any form or fashion. Only ancient Israel was required to pay tithes, and the tithe only consisted agricultural produce - not income.
The Bible encourages voluntary, Spirit-led giving among Christians.

∙ 9y agoA "tithe" is 1/10 of ones earnings. In the modern age where people pay taxes and the state is responsible for looking after the poor and the sick, the concept of the Church "tithe" is a bit outmoded. However churches still take collections and i believe some (eg the Mormons?) still demand a tithe.
