Your single most important financial number
Income tells you how much money flows through your hands; net worth tells you how much you're actually keeping. By subtracting what you owe from what you own, you get an honest snapshot of your financial position — and a baseline you can track over time to see whether you're truly getting ahead.
How to use the net worth calculator
List your assets — cash, investments, property, vehicles — using their current market value. Then list your liabilities — mortgage, loans, and credit-card balances — using the outstanding amount. Your net worth updates instantly as the difference between the two totals.
Why the trend matters more than the number
A single net-worth figure is just a starting point. The real value comes from recalculating every few months and watching the line move. Rising net worth means your assets are growing faster than your debts — exactly what you want. If it's flat or falling, the budget planner and debt payoff calculator can help you find the leak and reverse the trend.
