Net Worth Calculator
Add up what you own and what you owe to see your net worth in dollars — track your assets, liabilities and debt-to-asset ratio in one clean snapshot.
What is a net worth calculator?
A net worth calculator adds up everything you own and subtracts everything you owe. Your assets are the things of value you hold — cash and bank accounts, investments and retirement accounts, the value of your property, vehicles and other possessions. Your liabilities are your debts — a mortgage, auto and student loans, credit-card balances and any other money owed. Net worth is assets minus liabilities, and it is one of the clearest single measures of your overall financial health.
This calculator also shows your debt-to-asset ratio, which tells you what share of what you own is still owed to someone else. Because it all runs on JavaScript in your browser, neither your balances nor anything else is stored or uploaded.
How to use
- Enter the current value of each asset category you own.
- Enter the remaining balance of each liability category you owe.
- Click Calculate Net Worth to see your net worth, total assets, total liabilities and debt-to-asset ratio.
How net worth is calculated
Net worth = Total assets − Total liabilities Debt-to-asset ratio = Total liabilities ÷ Total assets
Use the current market value for assets like a home or car, not what you originally paid. The net worth can be negative if your liabilities exceed your assets, which is common early in life.
Example
With the defaults — $20,000 cash, $60,000 investments, $280,000 property and $18,000 vehicles — your total assets are $378,000. Against $180,000 mortgage, $4,000 credit cards, $15,000 auto and student loans and $3,000 other debts, your total liabilities are $202,000. So your net worth is $176,000 and your debt-to-asset ratio is about 53%.
Common use cases
- Financial snapshots: get one number that summarizes your overall financial health.
- Goal tracking: set a net-worth target and watch it grow year by year.
- Debt payoff: see how clearing a credit card or loan improves your ratio.
- Big decisions: evaluate whether a purchase, mortgage or investment really adds to your wealth.
Pro tips
- Use current values: mark assets at today's market value, not the original purchase price.
- Review quarterly: a regular check shows whether assets are growing faster than debts.
- Aim for a low ratio: a debt-to-asset ratio well under 50% gives you more financial room.
- Don't overcount: only include assets you actually own — not an inheritance or a car you're still paying off.
FAQ
What is a net worth calculator?
A tool that totals your assets (what you own) and your liabilities (what you owe) and subtracts them to give your net worth in a single number.
How is net worth calculated?
Net worth = total assets − total liabilities. Assets are things you own such as cash, investments and property; liabilities are debts such as a mortgage, loans and credit-card balances.
What counts as an asset?
Usually cash and bank accounts, investments and retirement accounts, the value of your home and other property, vehicles and valuable personal items.
What counts as a liability?
A liability is any debt: a mortgage, auto and student loans, credit-card balances, personal loans and any other money you owe.
What is a good net worth?
There is no single answer, but net worth typically grows with age and income. Many people aim to have a positive and rising net worth over time rather than a specific target.
What is a debt-to-asset ratio?
Debt-to-asset ratio is total liabilities divided by total assets. A lower ratio means you have more of your assets free of debt; a healthy ratio is generally well under 50%.
Should I include my home?
You can include the current market value of your home as an asset and the remaining mortgage as a liability. Some people exclude it for a day-to-day financial-picture view.
Is a negative net worth bad?
A negative net worth means your liabilities exceed your assets. It is common early in life (student loans and a mortgage) but is worth tracking so you can get it back positive.
How often should I check my net worth?
A quarterly or annual check is enough for most people. Checking too often can create noise, but regular tracking shows whether your assets are growing faster than your debts.
Is this net worth calculator free?
Yes. It runs entirely in your browser and no data is uploaded anywhere.
