Net Worth Calculator: Track Your Real Wealth
Published August 2026 | 5 min read
Your salary isn't your wealth. Your net worth is. It's the single most important number in personal finance, yet most people have no idea what theirs is. Let's fix that.
The Formula (Simple)
Assets − Liabilities = Net Worth
What Counts as Assets
| Asset | Include? |
|---|---|
| Checking/savings accounts | ✅ Yes |
| Investment accounts | ✅ Yes |
| Retirement accounts | ✅ Yes |
| Home value | ✅ Yes (current market value) |
| Car value | ⚠️ Optional (depreciates fast) |
| Personal property | ❌ No (too hard to sell) |
What Counts as Liabilities
- Mortgage balance
- Student loans
- Credit card debt
- Auto loans
- Personal loans
- Any money you owe
Net Worth by Age (Benchmarks)
| Age | Median Net Worth | Target (50th %ile) |
|---|---|---|
| Under 35 | $13,900 | 1x annual salary |
| 35-44 | $91,300 | 3x annual salary |
| 45-54 | $168,600 | 6x annual salary |
| 55-64 | $212,500 | 8x annual salary |
How to Grow It Faster
- Track monthly. What gets measured gets managed.
- Attack high-interest debt first. Every dollar of debt eliminated is a dollar added to net worth.
- Invest early and often. Time is your biggest ally.
- Avoid lifestyle inflation. When you get a raise, save half.
