Another case where you lose >20% with 20% less hours: earning to give as normal employee (not as entrepreneur).
Salary is ~ linear with the hours worked. You can only donate the part of the salary above a certain baseline because you need the rest for your living costs*. Let’s say you can donate 40% of your salary if you work 40h/week. If you work 32h/week, can only donate 20% of a full-time salary. That’s 50% less impact for 20% less hours.
Caveat 1: You can also donate a fixed percentage, then it doesn’t work like this. Caveat 2: I’m neglecting non-donation impact here.
