Net Worth Calculator

Find your net worth.

How it is calculated

Net worth is what you own minus what you owe: net worth = total assets − total liabilities. Assets are things with a value you could sell or draw on, such as cash, savings, investments, property and a car at its current market value. Liabilities are all outstanding debts: mortgage balance, loans, credit-card balances. Enter both totals in the same currency. The tool simply subtracts the two and shows a currency amount; a negative result means debts exceed assets. It is a snapshot for one date and uses no growth or inflation.

Worked example

A household owns assets worth 250000 (home, savings and car) and owes 180000 (mortgage and a loan). Subtract liabilities from assets: 250000 − 180000 = $70,000.00. Net worth is positive, so the household owns more than it owes.

Common mistakes

  • Listing a property at its purchase price rather than its current market value, while the mortgage is the remaining balance.
  • Entering monthly payments as liabilities. Use the outstanding balance of each debt.
  • Adding items you cannot realistically sell, such as furniture at its original price, which inflates the result.
  • Comparing figures from different dates and thinking the change is saving, when it may only be a price change in assets.

About this calculator

This calculator subtracts your total liabilities from your total assets — everything you own (cash, investments, property, vehicles) minus everything you owe (mortgage, loans, credit card balances) — to give a single net worth figure.

It's used for personal financial tracking, typically recalculated every few months or once a year to see whether wealth is growing over time, and it's also the starting figure many people use before setting savings or debt-payoff goals.

    The result is only a snapshot on the day you value things. Count a home at what it would plausibly sell for, not what you paid, and list every debt, including cards and car loans. Net worth can be positive while cash is tight, because a house or a pension is hard to spend. Recalculating at the same date every year makes the trend more telling than any single figure. How often do you update your own balance sheet?
