Talking about money can be hard for people who serve God. But it’s important to understand how clergy taxes affect your compensation‚ so you can make sense of your finances without distracting from your ministry work. Clergy taxes affect your compensation in three ways: 1. Salary Remember, clergy salaries are subject to taxes, even though you work for a tax-exempt organization. 2. Tax Offsets Clergy are responsible for paying their Social Security and Medicare taxes. Your employer may offer a tax offset to help with these payments. 3. Housing Allowance Ordained ministers can claim this federal income tax deduction for mortgage and rent payments, utilities, and home expenses. Understand how compensation and clergy taxes work together. Your compensation can provide the foundation for financial peace of mind—so you can focus on your calling. At MMBB, we’re experts in the financial side of ministry. We can review your compensation package and guide you on the road to financial wellness. Let’s begin this journey together.
