What percentage of income do you tithe?

The NO doesn't seem to care. What was the Pre-Vatican II teaching?

There wasn't one.  There is simply a precept to support the Church.  How much you give, no one can make that decision for you.  I am in the curious position of being retired, yet Social Security won't kick in for two more years, so I live on a small pension, 401(k) distributions, the fruits of a lifetime of frugality (no house payment, no car payment, no big-ticket items), and to a very small extent, what I can sell on eBay and elsewhere.  So I don't give much.  I don't have it to give.

People of outrageously large means, can afford to give the Biblical ten percent, and even more beyond that.  But even then, the Church doesn't mandate a set amount or percentage.  It's up to everyone's individual judgment.

A tithe is ten percent. 

I think you mean to ask, “what percentage of income do you give to the Church?”
