How much can I deduct for charitable donations in the US?

In the US, cash donations to qualified charities are deductible up to 60% of your AGI if you itemize. You must exceed the standard deduction ($14,600 single / $29,200 married in 2024) for itemizing to benefit you.

How does Greece's charity tax credit work?

In Greece, donations to recognized charities and public benefit foundations earn a direct 20% tax credit on the donated amount. The credit is capped at your total income tax liability for the year.

What is the 'effective cost' of a donation?

The effective cost is how much the donation actually costs you after tax savings. For example, a $100 donation in the 22% US tax bracket costs only $78 after deduction — you 'get back' $22 in tax savings.
