Everything you own at current value.

Total liabilities
$278,500

Everything you owe today.

Liquid assets
$62,000

Cash + savings + brokerage. Usable fast.

Liability ratio

High — debt is more than half of assets.

How it breaks down

Formula: Net worth = Total assets − Total liabilities

Track over time: run this monthly or quarterly — the trend matters far more than any single snapshot.

Natural next step

Net worth tells you where; cash flow tells you why

Net worth tells you where you stand today. To understand why it's moving up or down, you need to see your cash flow. Upload your bank statement and get categorized income, spending, and subscriptions — the month-over-month view that explains the net worth change.

What it gives you

Fast enough for a first pass

Each tool is intentionally narrow. The job here is a clean estimate, not a fake replacement for a full statement analysis.

Five metrics, one input pass

Computes total assets, liabilities, net worth, liquid assets, and liability ratio live as you type.

Liquid vs illiquid surface

Separates liquid (cash, savings, brokerage) from illiquid (home, car, retirement) for emergency-fund decisions.

Liability ratio context

Shows liability ratio so you can benchmark how leveraged your total position is — critical for mortgage and loan eligibility.

When it's useful

A personal balance sheet in under 60 seconds. Runs entirely in the browser.

Anyone tracking financial health

Useful for anyone wanting a single number that captures their real financial position — more meaningful than income because it reflects what you've kept, not what you've earned.

People applying for mortgages or personal loans

Lenders often ask for a personal balance sheet. This calculator produces exactly that structure — assets summarized at top, liabilities below, net worth at bottom.

Planners running annual or quarterly reviews

Run the same set of inputs every month or quarter, track the trend. The shape of the curve tells you far more than any individual snapshot.

Couples doing a joint financial review

Run twice — once for each partner, then combined. Helps surface hidden debts, separate vs joint assets, and the shape of combined wealth.

Deeper context

Why net worth beats income as a financial metric

Income says how much you earned. Net worth says how much you kept.

Income without net worth growth is spent money

A $150k salary without net worth increase means the money went out as fast as it came in. High income correlates with high wealth but doesn't guarantee it.

Net worth reflects every financial decision

Every spending choice, every investment, every debt payoff — all of it shows up in net worth eventually. It's the cumulative scorecard, not a single-period snapshot.

Net worth includes what you don't spend

Keeping $1,000 by skipping an optional purchase increases your net worth by $1,000. Income-based metrics miss this; net worth captures it directly.

Deeper context

Common net worth mistakes this calculator avoids

Most DIY net worth spreadsheets make the same handful of errors.

Using purchase price instead of current value

A car bought for $35,000 five years ago is worth far less today. Always use current market value. This calculator prompts for it explicitly.

Counting only the mortgage payment, not the balance

The liability is the remaining balance, not the monthly payment. Same for all amortizing loans — use the current payoff amount from the statement.

Missing retirement accounts

401(k), Traditional IRA, Roth IRA, SEP-IRA, HSA — all count as assets (even tax-deferred ones). Skipping them understates net worth dramatically.
