Net Worth Calculator

Net worth is the total value of all your assets minus your liabilities. It provides a snapshot of your financial health, helping you understand your overall financial position.

Understanding your net worth helps you track financial progress, set goals, and make informed financial decisions. It serves as a foundation for retirement planning, investment strategies, and overall financial well-being.

To calculate your net worth, list all your assets (e.g., cash, investments, property) and sum their values. Then, list all your liabilities (e.g., loans, credit card debt) and sum their amounts. Subtract the total liabilities from the total assets to get your net worth.

Assets include cash, savings accounts, investments, real estate, vehicles, and personal property. Liabilities include mortgages, car loans, student loans, credit card debt, and any other outstanding debts.

Yes! You can improve your net worth by increasing your assets through savings and investments, and reducing your liabilities by paying off debts. Additionally, boosting your income and managing expenses effectively contribute to a higher net worth.

It's advisable to review your net worth at least annually. However, for those actively managing their finances, quarterly or even monthly reviews can provide better insights and help track progress toward financial goals.

While this calculator is designed for a single profile, you can run separate calculations for different individuals or scenarios. For a more comprehensive approach, consider creating multiple profiles and tracking each one individually.

These benchmarks help gauge financial health, but personal circumstances may vary.

A negative net worth means liabilities exceed assets. It’s common for younger individuals due to student loans, mortgages, or credit card debt. To improve:

• Reduce high-interest debts (e.g., credit cards).
• Increase savings and investments.
• Focus on income growth through career advancements.
• Avoid unnecessary liabilities.

With a financial plan, it’s possible to turn negative net worth into positive over time.

Growing net worth requires increasing assets while reducing liabilities. Key strategies include:
