How to Use This Calculator
1. Enter the current value of all your assets in the Assets section, including cash, savings, investments, retirement accounts, real estate, vehicles, and any other valuables. 2. Enter the outstanding balances of all your liabilities, such as your mortgage, car loans, student loans, credit card debt, and any other debts. 3. Click Calculate to instantly see your total assets, total liabilities, net worth, and your debt-to-asset ratio. 4.

What Is Net Worth?
Net worth is the total monetary value of everything you own (assets) minus everything you owe (liabilities). It is the most comprehensive single-number summary of your financial health. A high net worth means you have accumulated significant wealth, while a negative net worth means your debts exceed the value of your assets.
The Net Worth Formula
The calculation is straightforward:
- Net Worth = Total Assets − Total Liabilities
For example, if you own a home worth $350,000, have $50,000 in savings and investments, and owe $200,000 on your mortgage and $10,000 in other debts, your net worth would be: ($350,000 + $50,000) − ($200,000 + $10,000) = $190,000.
What Counts as an Asset?
Assets are anything you own that has monetary value, including:
- Cash, checking, and savings accounts
- Stocks, bonds, ETFs, and mutual funds
- Retirement accounts (401k, IRA, Roth IRA, pension)
- Real estate (current market value of property)
- Vehicles (current resale value)
- Business equity or ownership interests
- Jewelry, art, collectibles, and other valuables
What Counts as a Liability?
Liabilities are debts and financial obligations you owe, including:
- Mortgage balances
- Auto loans
- Student loans
- Credit card balances
- Personal loans
- Medical debt
- Business loans
Understanding the Debt-to-Asset Ratio
The debt-to-asset ratio is calculated as Total Liabilities ÷ Total Assets × 100. It shows what percentage of your assets are financed by debt. A ratio below 50% is generally considered healthy. As you pay down debt and grow your assets, this ratio should decrease over time.
What Is a Good Net Worth?
Net worth benchmarks vary significantly by age, income, and location. According to the Federal Reserve's Survey of Consumer Finances, the median net worth of American families was approximately $192,700. However, rather than comparing yourself to averages, the most important goal is to see your personal net worth trending upward over time.
