What are your donations worth?
The rate of tax relief for charities is a blended rate of 31% for all donors, irrespective of the actual tax rate paid.
The gross donation is determined to be 100% / (100% – 31%) = 144.93% of the net donation, so the tax relief works out as 44.93% of the net donation – i.e. approximately 45% of what you paid.
