Frequently Asked Questions

What is net worth?
Net worth is the total value of your assets (what you own) minus your liabilities (what you owe). It's a snapshot of your overall financial health at a specific point in time. A positive net worth means your assets exceed your debts, while a negative net worth means you owe more than you own.
How do you calculate net worth?
To calculate net worth, add up all your assets (cash, investments, retirement accounts, real estate, vehicles, etc.) and subtract all your liabilities (mortgage, student loans, credit cards, auto loans, etc.). The formula is: Net Worth = Total Assets - Total Liabilities.
What is a good net worth by age?
A common benchmark is to have a net worth equal to your annual income by age 30, double your income by 40, triple by 50, and so on. However, this varies widely based on income, location, and personal circumstances. The median net worth for Americans aged 35-44 is around $91,000, while for ages 55-64 it's approximately $212,000 (2022 Federal Reserve data).
What assets should I include in my net worth?
Include all assets with monetary value: cash and savings, checking and money market accounts, stocks and bonds, mutual funds and ETFs, retirement accounts (401k, IRA), real estate (primary home and investment properties), vehicles, business equity, valuable collections, and any other investments or valuables you could convert to cash.
Should I include my house in net worth?
Yes, you should include the current market value of your house in your assets, and include the remaining mortgage balance in your liabilities. Your home equity (house value minus mortgage) contributes to your net worth. Some financial experts suggest tracking net worth both with and without your primary residence to see your liquid wealth.
How often should I calculate my net worth?
It's recommended to calculate your net worth at least once a year, ideally at the same time each year (like January 1st) to track your financial progress. Many people calculate it quarterly or even monthly to stay on top of their financial goals. Regular tracking helps you identify trends and adjust your financial strategies.
