percent How the math works

We use the standard amortization, compound-interest and present-value formulas published by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and the Federal Reserve. The methodology block below shows every variable and rounding step we apply, so the answer is never a black box.

Save the URL after you calculate — your inputs aren't stored, so write down the headline number plus the breakdown. Then come back and edit one variable at a time (down payment, rate, term) to see exactly which lever moves your monthly figure the most. That's where the real planning happens.

Formula & methodology

Formula: Net worth = Total assets - Total liabilities

How net worth is calculated

Net worth is a single snapshot of financial health: everything you own minus everything you owe.

  1. Add up assets at current market value — cash, investments, retirement accounts, home, car, and other valuables.
  2. Add up liabilities — mortgage, loans, and credit-card balances.
  3. Subtract liabilities from assets.

Example

Assets: $25,000 savings + $80,000 retirement + $300,000 home = $405,000. Liabilities: $220,000 mortgage + $15,000 car loan + $5,000 cards = $240,000. Net worth = 405,000 - 240,000 = $165,000.

Track it quarterly; the trend matters more than any single number. Use market values, and update home and investment figures as they change.

Frequently asked questions

How do you calculate net worth?
Net worth = total assets - total liabilities. List everything you own at current value (cash, investments, retirement, home, vehicles) and subtract everything you owe (mortgage, loans, credit-card balances). The result can be positive or negative, and tracking how it changes over time is the real goal.
Should I include my house in net worth?
Yes. Include your home at its current market value as an asset, and include the outstanding mortgage as a liability. The difference is your home equity, which is the part that actually contributes to net worth. Some people also track 'liquid net worth' that excludes the home to gauge accessible wealth.
Is a negative net worth bad?
Not necessarily, especially early in life. Recent graduates often have negative net worth because of student loans before their assets grow. What matters is the direction: as long as net worth is trending upward over time through saving, investing, and paying down debt, a temporarily negative figure is normal.
What is a good net worth by age?
A common benchmark is to aim for net worth equal to your annual salary by 30, three times salary by 40, and six times by 50, though these are rough guides that ignore cost of living and student debt. Comparing your own trend year over year is more useful than hitting a generic target.
What is the difference between net worth and liquid net worth?
Net worth counts all assets, including hard-to-sell ones like your home and retirement accounts. Liquid net worth counts only assets you could convert to cash quickly without penalty — savings and taxable investments — minus short-term debts. Liquid net worth shows your real financial flexibility in an emergency.
