How do I calculate my net worth?

Net worth is calculated as Total Assets minus Total Liabilities. Add up everything you own (cash, investments, retirement accounts, home value, vehicles, and other valuables), then subtract everything you owe (credit card debt, personal loans, mortgage balance, and other debts). The result is your net worth.

What is a good net worth for my age?

A common benchmark is to have a net worth equal to 1x your annual income by age 30, 3x by 40, 6x by 50, and 8x by 60. However, these are rough guidelines — what matters most is the trend. If your net worth is growing each month, you are on the right track regardless of your starting point.

What is a healthy debt-to-asset ratio?

A debt-to-asset ratio under 30% is generally considered healthy, 30-50% is manageable, and above 50% is debt-heavy. The ratio is calculated as Total Liabilities ÷ Total Assets × 100. A lower ratio means you own a larger share of your assets outright.

Should I include my home and mortgage in net worth?

Yes. Your home is an asset at its current market value, and your mortgage is a liability at its remaining balance. Including both gives an accurate picture of your true net worth. Many people are surprised to find their home equity is their largest single asset.

How often should I track my net worth?

Most financial experts recommend tracking net worth monthly. This cadence is frequent enough to catch problems early (like rising debt) but not so frequent that market fluctuations create noise. Monthly tracking also lets you see the compounding effect of consistent saving and investing.

What is the difference between net worth and income?

Income is the money you earn over a period (monthly or annually), while net worth is the total value of what you own minus what you owe at a single point in time. You can have a high income and low net worth if you spend everything, or a modest income and growing net worth through disciplined saving and investing.
