Calculator use

  • Assumption checks before talking with a lender, tax preparer, employer, or financial professional.

Before relying on it

Check first

  • Entering cash, investments and home value from different time periods or scenarios.
  • Mixing gross income, take-home income, one-time costs, and monthly costs in the same comparison.
  • Forgetting taxes, fees, insurance, irregular bills, or minimum payments when using an estimate.
  • Treating a planning estimate as a quote, tax filing result, approval decision, or guaranteed return.

FAQ

Common questions

How do I calculate net worth?

Add the value of assets you own, then subtract debts and liabilities you owe.

Should I include my home?

You can include home value as an asset and mortgage balance as a liability if you want a full household balance sheet.

How often should I update net worth?

Monthly, quarterly, or yearly updates are usually enough for tracking trends without overreacting to daily market changes.
