Net Worth Calculator

What is net worth? – Your net worth is the single most important snapshot of your financial health. It's calculated by subtracting everything you owe (liabilities) from everything you own (assets). The formula is simple:

Net Worth = Total Assets – Total Liabilities

A positive net worth means you own more than you owe – you're building wealth. A negative net worth indicates that debts exceed assets, a signal to focus on debt reduction.

🔍 Categorising Your Assets & Liabilities

Assets are typically divided into:

• Liquid assets: Cash, savings, checking accounts – easily accessible.
• Investments: Stocks, bonds, mutual funds, retirement accounts (PPF, EPF, 401k, IRA).
• Real estate: Your home, rental properties, land.
• Personal property: Vehicles, jewellery, art – but be realistic about resale value.

Liabilities include:

• Secured debt: Mortgages, car loans – backed by collateral.
• Unsecured debt: Credit card balances, personal loans, student loans.
• Other obligations: Any money you owe to friends, family, or institutions.

📊 How to Interpret Your Net Worth

• Negative net worth: Liabilities > Assets. Focus on paying off high-interest debt, building an emergency fund, and avoiding new debt.
• Net worth near zero: You are starting from scratch. Build assets systematically.
• Positive and growing: You are on the right track. Aim to increase the gap between assets and liabilities.

The progress bars in the summary give you a visual sense of the proportion of assets to liabilities. A healthy position typically has assets several times larger than liabilities.

💡 Practical Tips to Improve Your Net Worth

• Increase assets: Automate savings, invest in low-cost index funds, and consider side income.
• Reduce liabilities: Pay more than the minimum on credit cards, refinance high-interest loans, and avoid unnecessary borrowing.
• Track regularly: Update your net worth monthly or quarterly to stay motivated.
• Diversify: Don't put all your money in one asset class; spread risk.
