What net worth means here

Net worth is a point-in-time difference between what you own and what you owe. This page only subtracts two totals. It does not list line items or pull brokerage balances.

Formula

Net worth = assets - liabilities. Both inputs must be zero or greater. The result can be negative.

Net worth questions

Should I use market value or cost basis for a home?
Use a consistent rule you trust. Many people use an estimated market value and the mortgage balance as a liability.
Do retirement accounts count as assets?
If you include them, yes. Remember future taxes may reduce spendable value.
Can net worth be negative?
Yes. That simply means liabilities are larger than assets on the totals you typed.
Does this track changes over time?
No. It is a single snapshot each time you run it.
Is this financial advice?
No. Informational subtraction only.
Are totals uploaded?
No. The difference is computed in your browser.
