Formula used
Net Worth = Total Assets − Total Liabilities. Assets include liquid assets (cash, FDs), investment assets (MF, stocks, PPF, EPF, NPS), real assets (property, gold) and other assets. Liabilities include all outstanding loans and credit card debt. Debt-to-asset ratio = (Total Liabilities / Total Assets) × 100 — lower is better.
Example calculation
Assets: cash Rs 1L + FDs Rs 2L + MF Rs 3L + PPF/EPF Rs 5L + property Rs 30L + gold Rs 2L = Rs 43L. Liabilities: home loan Rs 15L + personal loan Rs 1L = Rs 16L. Net worth = Rs 27L. Debt-to-asset ratio = 37.2%.
How to use this calculator
- Enter the current value of each asset category — be honest with market values, not purchase prices.
- Enter all outstanding loan balances — home loan, personal loan, car loan, credit card dues.
- Read your total assets, liquid assets, total liabilities, net worth, liquid net worth and debt-to-asset ratio.
- Track this every 6–12 months to monitor your financial progress.
Important assumptions
- All values are entered at current market value, not original cost (especially for property, gold and mutual funds).
- Illiquid assets like property are included at estimated market value — actual realisation may differ.
- Educational snapshot only. Consult a financial advisor for comprehensive financial planning.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Using the purchase price of property instead of current market value.
- Forgetting to include EPF, PPF and NPS balances — these are significant assets for salaried employees.
- Including the credit card limit as debt instead of the actual outstanding dues.
- Not tracking net worth over time — the trend is more important than a single snapshot.
