Net Worth
Your financial position. Positive means you own more than you owe; negative means the opposite
Debt-to-asset
Liabilities ÷ Assets. Under 30% is generally healthy; over 50% means debt dominates your balance sheet

How It Works

Net worth is the simplest and most important measure of your financial health. It's the total value of everything you own (assets) minus everything you owe (liabilities).

Assets are organized into five categories: Cash & Savings (checking, savings, cash), Investments (stocks, bonds, retirement accounts), Real Estate (home, rental properties), Personal Property (vehicles, valuables), and Other Assets. Enter the current market value — what each asset would sell for today, not what you paid for it.

Liabilities are organized into five categories: Mortgages, Auto Loans, Student Loans, Credit Card Debt, and Other Liabilities. Enter the current outstanding balance — how much you still owe.

The asset allocation shows what percentage of your total assets falls in each category. A healthy allocation depends on your age and goals, but over-concentration in any single asset (like having 80% of net worth in your home) can be a risk.

Tips & Best Practices

Track your net worth quarterly or monthly. The trend matters more than the absolute number — consistent growth means you're on the right track.
Your home is an asset, but it's illiquid — you can't easily spend it. Track 'liquid net worth' (excluding home equity) separately for a clearer picture of accessible wealth.
A negative net worth is common for young adults with student loans. Focus on the direction: if it's increasing each month, you're making progress.
Use current market values for assets, not purchase prices. Your car is worth what it would sell for today, not what you paid 3 years ago.
Exclude personal items of small value (furniture, electronics, clothing) — they're not worth tracking and inflate your perceived wealth.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a good net worth?

It depends on age and income. A common benchmark: by 30, aim for 1× annual salary saved; by 40, 3×; by 50, 6×; by 60, 8×; by 67, 10×. These are rough guidelines — the median net worth for Americans aged 35-44 is about $91,000 (Federal Reserve, 2022).

Yes, your home is an asset. But calculate both total net worth (including home equity) and liquid net worth (excluding home) to understand your financial flexibility. Home equity is real wealth but isn't easily accessible for daily financial needs.

Monthly is ideal for active tracking. At minimum, quarterly. Update investment values from your latest statements, check loan balances, and adjust property values annually. Consistency matters more than precision — use reasonable estimates.

Your data is saved only in your browser's localStorage — it never leaves your device and is not sent to any server. Clearing your browser data or using a different browser/device will reset it. Use the Save button to persist and Clear All to remove.
