Net Worth Calculator 📊

A real example: adding it all up

Net worth is simply everything you own minus everything you owe. Say your assets are a home worth $300,000, a $80,000 401(k), $20,000 in savings and a $15,000 car — $415,000 in total.

Your debts are a $240,000 mortgage, a $10,000 car loan and $5,000 on credit cards — $255,000 total. Your net worth is $415,000 − $255,000 = $160,000. Track this number once or twice a year — watching it climb is the clearest single sign your finances are moving in the right direction. Enter your own assets and debts above.

Why net worth is the number that matters

Income tells you how much money flows in; net worth tells you how much you've actually kept and built. It's the truest measure of financial progress because it captures both sides of the ledger — your assets and your debts — in a single figure.

Track it every few months. As long as the number trends upward over time, you're moving toward financial freedom, even if individual months are bumpy.

How to grow your net worth

• Increase assets: invest consistently so your money compounds (see the compound interest calculator).
• Reduce liabilities: pay down high-interest debt fast (try the debt payoff calculator).
• Avoid lifestyle creep: when income rises, send the difference to savings and investments instead of new spending.
