Page History
Each missionary's support goal is made of many "building blocks". Therefore, it is safe to assume that your support goal WILL be larger than the offered salary listed on your offer.
- Salary - this is the main building block to your support goal. Your offered salary (found in the details of your offer) is the limit to the amount of salary you can receive, However, you are allowed to accept a lower amount of salary than what is offered to you.
- Administrative Assessment - every gift that comes into the MTD account you are responsible for will be assessed at 12% (or 3% from a Sponsor Church).
- Attrition Buffer - data shows that a percentage of donors will drop off from giving within the first few years of a missionary's employment. Therefore, every missionary's support goal includes an attrition buffer to plan for the future.
- Insurances - this includes benefits such as health insurance premiums, and other employment insurances.
- Ministry Expenses - this includes a ministry expense bonus amount you can plan for, in addition to any eligible ministry expenses a missionary may reimburse from the MTD account.
- 401(k) - eligible employees can make contributions 1 year from official hire date, and can plan for this amount in the support goal.
