When calculating one's maaser kesafim obligation the mainstream position seems to be that the maaser should be taken from one's net income representing gross income minus statutory deductions and a few limited other, example. There is a minority opinion represented by the Chofetz Chaim in Ahavat Chesed that one may also deduct living expenses, though no qualification is given. Are there other's who elaborate on this position?
