What is net worth?
Net worth is assets minus liabilities. Or, you can think of net-worth as everything you own less all that you owe. Find your net worth by using our net worth calculator.
How do you calculate net worth?
Calculating your net-worth requires you to take an inventory of what you own, as well as your outstanding debt. And when we say own, we include assets that you may still be paying for, such as a car or a house.
For example, if you have a mortgage on a house with a market value of $200,000 and the balance on your loan is $150,000, you can add $50,000 to your net worth.
Basically, the formula is:
And by the way, your income is not included in a networth calculation. A person can bring home a big paycheck but have a low net worth if they spend most of their money. On the other hand, even people with modest incomes can accumulate significant wealth and a high networth if they buy appreciating assets and are prudent savers.
Do you include a 401(k) in a networth calculation?
All of your retirement accounts are included as assets in your networth calculation. That includes 401(k)s, IRAs and taxable savings accounts.
What are assets and liabilities?
If you’re not sure what assets and liabilities are, here are some guidelines:
Assets: Assets include cash — such as in your checking, savings and retirement accounts — and items such as cars, property and investments that you could sell for cash. These are often referred to as liquid assets.
Some fixed assets can count toward your networth calculation, too, provided you can or would sell them if needed. For example, your home would count toward your net worth if you’re willing to use it for a home equity line of credit or sell it should the need arise.
“Some fixed assets can count toward your networth calculation, too.”
Liabilities: Any money you owe to another person or entity falls under this category. That includes revolving consumer debts — such as credit card balances — as well as personal, auto, payday and title loan balances. If you’re using your home as an asset, its mortgage counts as a liability as well.
