Julia and I handle our donations differently:

  • Everything Julia earns is donated, after taxes.
  • I pick a percentage of my income at the beginning of the year to be donated.

Last year I went for 30%, this year I'm going for 33%.

EDIT: As of 2014-07-15 we're now using a simpler system: we both donate half of what we earn.
