Most of us give from what is left. The month happens, the bills clear, and whatever survives becomes the sadaqah. Some months that is generous. Some months there is little left to give.
There is another way to order it. Decide what you will give first, set it aside before the month starts spending itself, and build the rest of your plan around that number. Giving stops being the leftover and becomes the priority it was always meant to be.
This is less about the amount and more about the intention behind it. There is a barakah in generosity that leads rather than follows, and your money starts to reflect what you truly value. Start with one fixed amount this month and let everything else arrange around it.
