Net Worth = Assets − Liabilities. An honest picture of your financial position.
What this calculator does
Add all assets: bank accounts, home, car, investments, retirement savings.
How it works
Subtract all liabilities: mortgage, loans, credit card debt.
When to use this calculator
Use this calculator before making any financial commitment that depends on this type of calculation. Running the numbers in advance lets you evaluate options without the pressure of a live negotiation or decision deadline.
Common mistakes
Many financial calculation errors stem from omitting ancillary costs: fees, taxes, insurance, or maintenance. The headline figure (interest rate, monthly payment) is rarely the complete cost of a financial product.
Real-world scenarios
An employee receives a counter-offer from another employer: a £4,000 salary increase but no pension contribution versus the current role's lower salary with 8% employer pension. Running both through the finance calculator shows the true net financial value of each offer.
