What is net worth?

Net worth is the simplest, most honest single number in personal finance: everything you own minus everything you owe. Income tells you how much you make; net worth tells you how much you've kept. Banks, lenders, and financial advisors use it as the headline measure of financial health, and tracking it over time turns the abstract idea of "making progress" into a concrete trend line. The math is trivial — subtraction — but the discipline of sitting down and listing every account, every loan, every realistic asset value is what gives the number its weight. Most people are surprised both ways: the equity in a home or retirement account they hadn't thought about in years can swing the result tens of thousands of dollars upward, while a forgotten credit balance or a true mark-to-market on a depreciating car can push it the other way. This calculator runs entirely in your browser — none of the numbers you type are sent anywhere, stored anywhere, or shared with us. You can close the tab and the data is gone. Run it once a quarter to see the trajectory; even a small consistent gain compounds powerfully over a decade.

How to use it

  1. List your assets — Start with cash and checking, then investments, retirement accounts, the realistic resale value of vehicles, and the current market value of any real estate. Skip items you wouldn't actually liquidate (sentimental jewelry, household goods).
  2. List your liabilities — Use current balances, not original amounts: the remaining mortgage principal, car loan balance, student loan balance, and any revolving debt (credit cards, personal lines).
  3. Add custom rows if needed — Use the "Add asset" and "Add liability" buttons for anything that doesn't fit the presets — business equity, crypto holdings, side-business income, family loans owed.
  4. Track it over time — Take a screenshot or note the result. Re-run quarterly. The line is what matters — not any single snapshot.

The math

Net worth is the difference between total assets and total liabilities. Both must be marked at current value, not original cost.

Net Worth = Total Assets − Total Liabilities

The debt-to-asset ratio shown in the result is liabilities ÷ assets. Below 30% is generally considered healthy; above 60% is a sign to focus on debt reduction.

What's a "good" net worth?

There's no universal answer — it depends on age, income, country, and life stage. A common US benchmark is to aim for a net worth equal to your annual income by age 30, three times your annual income by 40, and ten times by retirement. These are guidelines, not rules. The trajectory matters far more than any single milestone: as long as the line trends up year over year, you're winning.

Frequently asked questions

Should I include my home?
Yes — at its current realistic market value, not what you paid. The matching mortgage balance goes in liabilities. The difference (home equity) is a real part of your net worth, even if you don't plan to sell.
How do I value a car?
Use a private-party value from Kelley Blue Book, NADA, or a comparable local source — not the dealer trade-in figure (lower) or the retail asking price (higher). Cars depreciate fast; update the figure annually.
Do my retirement accounts count?
Yes, at their current balance. They're real wealth, even if you can't access them without penalty until retirement age. Some people prefer to track "accessible" net worth separately by excluding them — both views are useful.
What about future obligations like alimony or child support?
Net worth is a snapshot, not a projection. Only include current outstanding balances, not future payments. A separate cash-flow forecast handles future obligations.
Is the calculator really private?
Yes. The math runs in JavaScript on your device. No values are submitted, logged, or stored. Refreshing the page clears everything.
How often should I update it?
Quarterly is plenty for most people. Monthly can be motivating early on. Annual works once you've established the habit. The key is consistency — same definitions, same date each period.
