Calculations explained
Reference
How totals, averages, remittances, the 30% Due to the Region, currency conversion and multi-month figures are worked out.
All percentages below are the template defaults; an administrator can change them under Admin › Remittance %.
Parish figures
- Total income = Offerings + Tithes + Mission + Thanksgiving + 1st Fruit + Donations.
- Total expenditure = the sum of the expenditure lines.
- Average Sunday attendance = total attendance (Men + Women + Children) of the Sunday rows ÷ number of Sundays with attendance entered (a blank Sunday row is not counted). The On-line / Direct row is not a Sunday.
- Average online attendance and Average Sunday school = their totals ÷ the same number of Sundays.
Remittance from the parish to the Province
| Item | Rate |
|---|---|
| Tithes | the parish's tithe % (10% for every parish at present) |
| Offerings | 5% |
| Mission | 70% |
| Thanksgiving | 100% |
| 1st Fruit | 95% |
Remittance from the Province to the Continent (Regional report column Y)
Offerings × 5% + (Tithes × parish tithe %) × 80% + Mission × 70% + Thanksgiving × 100% + 1st Fruit × 90%
This is the amount due in the treasurer's arrears report.
30% Due to the Region
30% of the Thanksgiving offering — the share the Continent returns to the Region.
Currencies
- Parishes enter amounts in their local currency.
- AUD figures divide each month's local amounts by that month's rate (1 AUD = x local), then add the months together.
- In local-currency reports, totals are shown separately for each currency and never added together. A Province with parishes in more than one currency shows a subtotal per currency and a Province total converted to AUD.
Several months
For a reporting year, year to date or a range, money and statistics are added up month by month (each month converted at its own rate), and averages are the attendance of all Sundays in the period ÷ the number of Sundays.
Reporting year
September to August — e.g. 2026/27 runs from September 2026 to August 2027. Year to date runs from September to the chosen month.
Why the portal's average can differ from the Excel template
The 2026 Parish template divides attendance by five rows even in a four-Sunday month (e.g. 89.6 instead of 112). The portal divides by the Sundays actually entered, which matches the Regional template's definition.
