What net worth means
Net worth = Total Assets − Total Liabilities. It’s a snapshot of where you stand today and can be useful for tracking progress over time.
What to include as assets
- Cash: checking, savings, cash on hand.
- Investments: brokerage accounts, ETFs, stocks, bonds.
- Retirement accounts: 401(k), IRA, Roth IRA, etc.
- Other assets: vehicle value, business equity, valuable property (optional).
- Home value (optional): you can include your home’s estimated market value as an asset.
What to include as liabilities
- Credit card balances (what you owe today).
- Student loans and other education debt.
- Auto loans and personal loans.
- Mortgage balance (remaining principal owed).
How to include home equity
If you want to track home equity, add your home’s estimated value as an asset and your remaining mortgage balance as a liability. The difference represents your equity.
How to read the results
- Net Worth: your assets minus your liabilities.
- Assets − Liabilities: the formula shown so you can verify the math.
- Debt-to-Assets: total liabilities ÷ total assets, shown as a percentage. This helps indicate how leveraged you are.
Important notes and limitations
- This is a snapshot based on what you enter; it doesn’t fetch account balances automatically.
- Asset values can be estimates (especially home value, vehicles, or business equity).
- Net worth can be negative, especially early on (for example, with student loans or a new mortgage).
Try these quick experiments
- Run your numbers with and without your home to compare “liquid net worth” vs total net worth.
- Update monthly or quarterly and track the trend rather than focusing on a single number.
- Add a new row for a future goal (like paying off a loan) to see how reducing one liability changes the total.
