What Is Net Worth and Why Does It Matter?

Net worth is the difference between everything you own (assets) and everything you owe (liabilities). It is the most comprehensive single-number measure of personal financial health. A positive net worth means your assets exceed your debts; a negative net worth means you owe more than you own.

Net Worth = Total Assets - Total Liabilities

Assets: cash, investments, property, vehicles, business interests. Liabilities: mortgages, loans, credit card balances, student debt.

What Is a Good Net Worth?

Net worth benchmarks vary significantly by age, income, and location. A commonly cited rule of thumb is that net worth should equal approximately one times annual income by age 30, three times by 40, and seven times by 55. These are rough guides, not targets. The more important metric is the direction of change: is your net worth growing year over year?

Example: A person with a $750,000 home, $80,000 in super, $30,000 in shares, $15,000 in savings, and a $20,000 car has total assets of $895,000. With a $550,000 mortgage, $12,000 car loan, and $3,000 credit card balance, total liabilities are $565,000. Net worth: $330,000.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, though with a caveat. Superannuation is a real asset, but it is not accessible until preservation age (currently 60 in Australia). For a complete picture of your financial position, include it. For planning purposes, it is worth distinguishing between accessible assets (cash, shares) and locked assets (super, property equity).
Use a conservative estimate based on recent comparable sales in your area. Online tools (Domain, REA) provide automated estimates, but these can vary significantly from actual market value. For a precise figure, a professional valuation from a licensed valuer is the most accurate method.
Not necessarily, particularly for young people who have taken on mortgage debt to purchase property. A negative net worth is concerning if it is caused by high-interest consumer debt (credit cards, personal loans) rather than appreciating assets (property, investments). The key question is whether your net worth is improving over time.
