Getting an honest figure
Value assets at what they would sell for today. Leave out furniture, clothes and electronics unless they are truly valuable; they are worth little secondhand. Retirement accounts are counted at face value here even though traditional accounts will be taxed on withdrawal.
A negative net worth is normal early in adult life, especially with student loans. What matters is that it rises over time, either by saving and investing more or by paying debt down.
Liquid net worth
Much of a homeowner’s net worth is tied up in the house and in accounts that are costly to tap before retirement. The liquid figure — cash and investments minus non-mortgage debt — shows what you could actually draw on in the short term.
Questions people ask
How do I calculate my net worth?
Add up what you own and subtract what you owe. $495,000 of assets minus $293,000 of debts is a net worth of $202,000.
Can net worth be negative?
Yes. Someone with $23,000 of assets and $39,500 of debt, mostly student loans, has a net worth of −$16,500.
Does my home count toward net worth?
Yes — its market value counts as an asset and the mortgage as a liability, so in effect your home equity is what is added.
