Your balance is your starting balance, plus the maaser due on the income you enter, minus the tzedaka you've given. A positive number is what you still owe; a negative number means you're ahead.
Can I use 10% or 20%?
Yes. Choose 10% (maaser kesafim), 20% (chomesh) or a custom percentage on each income entry. You can set your default in Settings.
