Gross vs net
On gross income of $20,000 the tithe is $2,000. Christians who tithe on net (take-home) pay give ten percent of what lands in the account instead — Proverbs 3:9 ("honour the LORD with your firstfruits") is the usual argument for tithing on gross.
There is no New Testament command fixing the figure at ten percent. Malachi 3:10 is the storehouse text most often cited for the tithe; 2 Corinthians 9:7 asks each believer to give "as he purposeth in his heart, not grudgingly, or of necessity." The table above is arithmetic, not a rule — decide the percentage before God, then let the number follow.
