Frequently Asked Questions
How do I calculate my net worth?
Net worth equals total assets minus total liabilities. Assets include cash, bank accounts, investment accounts, retirement accounts (401k, IRA), real estate equity (current market value minus mortgage balance), vehicle value, and any other property. Liabilities include mortgage balance, car loan balances, student loan balances, credit card balances, personal loans, and any other debt. Add everything up in each category, then subtract total liabilities from total assets.
What is a good net worth by age?
According to the Federal Reserve's Survey of Consumer Finances (2022), median net worth by age group in the US is: under 35: $39,000; 35-44: $135,000; 45-54: $247,000; 55-64: $364,000; 65-74: $409,000; 75+: $335,000. These are medians — half of people have more, half have less. High-income earners often have significantly higher net worth. The common financial planning guideline is to have saved 1× your annual income by 30, 3× by 40, 6× by 50, and 8× by 60.
Should I include my primary home in my net worth?
Yes, include the equity (current market value minus remaining mortgage balance). If your home is worth $400,000 and you owe $250,000 on the mortgage, the equity is $150,000 and should be counted as an asset. However, home equity is illiquid — you cannot spend it without selling the home or borrowing against it. Some financial planners calculate net worth both ways (with and without home equity) to get a clearer picture of liquid wealth.
Should retirement accounts count in net worth?
Yes, include the current balance of 401(k), IRA, Roth IRA, 403(b), and pension funds. They are genuine assets even though they are not easily accessible. Note that traditional 401(k) and IRA balances will be subject to income tax when withdrawn, so some people calculate a tax-adjusted net worth that reduces retirement account balances by an estimated future tax rate (typically 20-25%).
How often should I calculate my net worth?
Monthly or quarterly is ideal. Monthly tracking lets you see the impact of debt payments, investment returns, and savings contributions in near-real-time. Quarterly is sufficient for most people and reduces the noise from month-to-month market fluctuations. Annual reviews at minimum are recommended. The key is consistency — calculate it the same way each time so trends are meaningful.
