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 by applying your own visitor-participation assumption (the default is a conservative 1 in 4 weekly visitors, and you can adjust it). 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. For sourced industry numbers, see our church giving statistics.
What assumptions does the calculator use?
Three inputs you control: your visitor-participation assumption (default: 1 in 4 weekly visitors give via the plates; adjust it up or down), 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. The participation rate is a planning assumption, not a research finding.
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. Check out our complete church giving technology guide for a full breakdown.

Yes. The calculator includes a ready-to-share summary section above that formats your custom results into a clear, copy-paste-friendly format designed for church finance committees and leadership teams. Just click "Copy to Clipboard" and paste it into an email.
