Net Worth Calculator

Track assets minus liabilities. Compare your net worth to US median wealth by age (2022 Fed SCF data) and the classic "millionaire next door" target.

FINANCE

Calculate your net worth (assets minus liabilities) and compare it to US median wealth by age bracket using the 2022 Federal Reserve Survey of Consumer Finances, plus the classic Stanley and Danko "millionaire next door" target formula.

Captures all major asset categories (cash, savings, retirement, brokerage, home, vehicles, other) and liability categories (mortgage, student loans, credit cards, auto loans, other debt). Computes total net worth, liquid net worth (excluding home and vehicles), comparison vs US median and mean for your age bracket, and a target (age x income / 10) with percentage progress.

Disclaimer: Educational tool only. US benchmarks are 2022 Fed SCF data and may shift with inflation. Use conservative current-market estimates for home and vehicle values, not original purchase prices.

Why Net Worth Beats Income

Net worth - assets minus liabilities - is the single best snapshot of financial health. A high earner with $150k income but $0 saved and $50k in credit card debt has a net worth of -$50k. A retired teacher with $400k saved and no debt has $400k. Same coffee shop, very different financial position.

The 2022 Federal Reserve Survey of Consumer Finances reports US median household net worth at $192,700 (mean $1.06M - pulled up sharply by ultra-wealthy households). Numbers shown here are the medians by age bracket for typical workers, since means are distorted by the top 1%.

Track net worth monthly. The classic millestones: $100k by 30, $250k by 40, $500k by 50, $1M by 60. Save 20%+ of income, invest in low-cost index funds, max tax-advantaged accounts (401k, Roth IRA, HSA) - the numbers compound from there.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a good net worth for my age?
A common benchmark is the "millionaire next door" formula: target net worth = age × pre-tax income / 10. So a 35-year-old earning $80,000 should target $280,000. The 2022 Federal Reserve SCF medians by age: under 35 ~$39k, 35-44 ~$135k, 45-54 ~$247k, 55-64 ~$365k. Means are much higher because the top 1% pulls them up.
How do I calculate my net worth?
Net worth = your total assets minus your total liabilities. Assets include cash, checking, savings, retirement accounts (401k, IRA), brokerage investments, home value, vehicles, and any other valuable property. Liabilities include mortgage balance, student loans, credit card balances, auto loans, and other debt. Track monthly to see the trend.
Should I include my home in my net worth?
Standard net worth includes home value (an asset) minus mortgage balance (a liability) - the net equity. "Liquid net worth" excludes the home and vehicles since you cannot easily spend them. For retirement planning, watch both numbers: total net worth shows your overall wealth, liquid net worth shows what you can actually deploy.
How can I increase my net worth faster?
The two main levers: increase assets (save more, invest in low-cost index funds, max tax-advantaged accounts like 401k, Roth IRA, HSA) and reduce liabilities (pay down high-interest debt aggressively, refinance to lower rates). Tracking net worth monthly creates accountability and surfaces lifestyle inflation before it gets out of hand.
