Oct 18, 2019 at 8:22 comment added mbloch I see. There are 2 different mitzvot, one of tzedakah (giving charity to the poor) which is accomplished by giving away a few dollars (YD 249:2) and one of maaser (carefully separating 10% or more of your income). See here. You seem to be asking what counts against maaser. I was preparing another answer but have now placed it on the duplicate question here.
