First, here's how much of their total income candidates gave away, from most generous to least.
The Vermont senator and his wife gave $19,000 on $566,000 in income.
The Minnesota senator and her husband gave $6,600 on $338,500 of income.
The New York senator and her husband gave $3,750 on $215,000 of income.
The California senator and her husband gave $27,000 on $1.9 million of income.
Based on IRS data, the Tax Policy Center shows that Americans who earn between $100,000 and $500,000 contribute about 2.9 percent of their adjusted gross income to charity; those who earn $500,000 and $2 million give about 3.1 percent.
In case you're looking for a quick, more detailed guide to what you should give to charity each year, here's a more detailed list of average charitable contributions by income bracket drawn from the IRS's data.
