A YouTube video by an LDS certified public accountant examining tithing calculations has drawn over 54,000 views in 15 hours and nearly 720 comments. Aaron Brewster, who has served as a ward financial clerk, addresses whether members should pay on gross or net income, what counts as income, and whether paying less affects blessings.

According to the video description on the Keystone channel, Brewster also tackles the question of whether members facing financial hardship should pay tithing or feed their children—a scenario that has generated controversy in LDS communities for decades.

The video's rapid view velocity and comment engagement suggest it is resonating with members seeking clarity on a practice the Church describes as essential but leaves interpretation details to individual members. Church policy states tithing is "one-tenth of their interest annually," without defining "interest."
