Tracking Ma'aser Effectively

Simplify Your Ma’aser with a Dedicated Checking Account

Do you struggle to keep track of how much ma’aser you’ve given or still owe? You're not alone. Managing ma’aser can be challenging, but there's a simple solution that can make it much easier: a separate checking account dedicated to your ma’aser money.

How It Works

With each paycheck, immediately transfer 10% to your dedicated ma’aser checking account.
This way, you’ll always know that any money sitting in that account is earmarked for tzedaka.
Whenever a worthy cause comes up you can simply make the donation out of your ma'aser account.
It’s a straightforward method that ensures you’re consistently setting aside and giving the correct amount.

Automate the Process

Most payroll systems can even automate this process for you.
By setting up your direct deposit to funnel 10% of your paycheck into your ma’aser account and the remainder into your regular checking account, you can save time and avoid the hassle of manual transfers.

Avoiding Monthly Fees

When setting up your ma’aser account, take note of any monthly fees and how they can be avoided. Many checking accounts offer options to waive these fees, such as maintaining a minimum balance or setting up direct deposits.

By following these steps, you can simplify your ma’aser tracking and ensure that your tzedaka contributions are managed efficiently.
