Frequently Asked Questions
How is the ROI for NFC giving plates calculated?
The calculation uses your church's average attendance, visitor count, and average gift amount. It estimates new weekly gifts from visitors using industry data showing 53% of NFC givers are first-time givers. It then projects annual giving increase, compares it against the one-time plate cost, and calculates your break-even timeline and first-year ROI percentage.
What assumptions does the calculator use?
We use conservative, research-backed assumptions: a 53% first-time giver conversion rate for visitors who interact with NFC plates, your entered average gift amount, and actual Tap.Giving volume pricing ($3.50–$4.50 per plate). Competitor platform costs are based on publicly available pricing.
How much do churches save with NFC plates vs. giving platform subscriptions?
Savings vary by platform. Churches using Pushpay ($17,700/year) can save over $85,000 over 5 years. Even compared to more affordable platforms like Tithely Plus ($1,428/year), churches save thousands because Tap.Giving plates are a one-time purchase with no recurring fees.
