The very best way to make sure your denominational giving goals are paid accurately is to use the
Funding the Mission Calculator, which is accessible after you log in to the Funding The Mission site.
To attempt to calculate Manually:
Calculating WEF
During the Year (How much WEF do we need to send?)
STEP ONE: Adjusted YTD income [minus] Mission Specials = Income Base
STEP TWO: Income Base [times] .055 [divided by] 1.055 = WEF Goal
End of the Year (What percentage of WEF did we send?)
STEP ONE: Adjusted YTD Income [minus]Mission Specials Paid [minus] WEF Paid = Income Base
STEP TWO: WEF Paid [divided by] Income Base = WEF Percentage Paid
Calculating Other Goals
STEP ONE: Adjusted YTD Income [minus] Mission Specials Paid [minus] WEF Paid = Income Base
STEP TWO: Income Base [times] .02 = NazBenefits Goal (2%)
Income Base [times] Education (SNU) Goal (2.5%)
Income Base [times] .050 = District Goal (5.0%)
Calculating Ten Percent Goal
STEP ONE: Adjusted YTD Income [minus] Mission Specials Paid [minus] WEF Paid = Income Base
STEP TWO: Income Base [times] .10 = Total amount needed to reach Ten Percent status for the year
