Net Worth Calculator

Net worth is the one number that cannot be argued with: everything you own minus everything you owe. The useful part is the breakdown — how much of it you could actually reach, and how much of your assets the debt claims.

Assets & Liabilities

Use current market values, not what you paid. Nothing is sent anywhere.

Liquid net worth is the number that matters in a crisis

Total net worth counts a house and a pension you cannot touch for decades. Liquid net worth counts only what you could convert to cash in days without wrecking something — cash, savings and taxable investments, minus short-term debt. Two households with identical net worth can be in completely different positions when a boiler fails or a job ends.

Reading the debt-to-asset ratio

Liabilities divided by assets. Below 30% is comfortable for most households. Between 30% and 50% is normal for anyone in the first decade of a mortgage. Above 70% means most of what you appear to own is in fact claimed by someone else, and a fall in asset values would put you close to or below zero.

Use market values, not purchase prices

A car bought for $34,000 three years ago is not a $34,000 asset. Vehicles typically lose 15–20% a year early on. Property is the opposite error — people often carry the purchase price for years. Both distortions matter, in opposite directions, and both are easy to fix by looking up a current figure.

Frequently Asked Questions

Should I include my pension in net worth?
Yes, at its current vested value. A defined-contribution balance is straightforward. A defined-benefit pension is harder and is often left out, or included at its transfer value if your scheme provides one.
Is negative net worth a problem?
Not necessarily, and it is very common for recent graduates and new homeowners. What matters is the direction of travel. Negative and improving is a normal early stage; negative and worsening is the signal to act on.
Do I count my home if I still have a mortgage?
Yes — count the full market value as an asset and the full mortgage balance as a liability. The difference is your home equity, which this calculator shows separately.
How often should I recalculate?
Quarterly is enough for most people. Monthly tends to make you react to normal market noise; annually is too infrequent to catch a drift early.
