Frequently Asked Questions
What is net worth?
Net worth is a measure of your overall financial standing. It is calculated by adding up the value of everything you own (assets) and subtracting everything you owe (liabilities).
What is the difference between a liquid asset and an illiquid asset?
Liquid assets (like cash or stock portfolios) can be quickly converted to cash with minimal loss of value. Illiquid assets (like real estate or private businesses) take time to sell and convert to cash.
How can I increase my net worth?
You can increase your net worth by increasing your assets (saving money, investing in stocks, paying down house principal) or by decreasing your liabilities (paying off credit cards, student loans, or car notes).
Can my net worth be negative?
Yes, a negative net worth occurs when your total liabilities exceed your total assets. This is common for recent graduates who have large student loan balances but few assets.
Should I include my primary residence in my net worth?
Yes. Your home is an asset based on its current market value. The outstanding mortgage balance is a liability. The difference (your home equity) is what contributes to your net worth.
Can I print or save a record of my balance sheet?
Yes, you can download a clean PDF report containing your categorized asset and liability tables, along with your final net worth calculation.
