What is Net Worth Calculator?

Your net worth is the total value of everything you own minus everything you owe. It's the single best measure of your overall financial health and a key metric to track over time.

How It Works

Add up all your assets (cash, investments, property, etc.) and subtract all your liabilities (mortgages, loans, credit card debt, etc.). The result is your net worth—positive means you're building wealth.

The Formula

Net Worth = Total Assets − Total Liabilities

Your net worth is simply everything you own (assets) minus everything you owe (liabilities). A positive net worth means you own more than you owe.

Examples

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a good net worth by age?
A common benchmark is: Age 30: 0.5× salary, Age 40: 2× salary, Age 50: 4× salary, Age 60: 6× salary, Age 70+: 8× salary. However, your personal situation and goals matter more than averages.
How often should I track my net worth?
Monthly tracking is ideal for most people. It helps you see progress and catch problems early without being obsessive. Quarterly is fine if monthly feels too frequent.
Does my home equity count as net worth?
Yes, your home equity (current value minus mortgage balance) is part of your net worth. However, it's not a liquid asset—you can't easily spend it without selling or taking out a loan.
What's the difference between net worth and liquid net worth?
Net worth includes all assets (home, car, retirement accounts). Liquid net worth only counts easily accessible cash and investments. Liquid net worth is more relevant for emergency planning.
