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.
