★ MONEY · NET WORTH CALCULATOR · ASSETS & DEBTS
Net worth $274,500.00 on $635,000.00 of assets and $360,500.00 of debts — a 56.77% debt-to-asset ratio. List what you own and what you owe, and the calculator adds both sides up, subtracts, and shows the ratio — plus what any target net worth would take.
Net worth is the simplest personal-finance number there is: everything you own minus everything you owe. This calculator adds up six kinds of assets and five kinds of debts, then shows the total assets, the total debts, the net worth, and the debt-to-asset ratio.
On the defaults — $25,000 of cash, $60,000 of investments, $85,000 of retirement accounts, a $425,000 home, $28,000 of vehicles and $12,000 of other assets against a $310,000 mortgage, $18,000 of auto loans, $22,000 of student loans, $4,500 of credit cards and $6,000 of other debts — the total assets are $635,000.00, the total liabilities are $360,500.00, and the net worth is $274,500.00, a debt-to-asset ratio of 56.77%. The assets are added first: $25,000 + $60,000 + $85,000 + $425,000 + $28,000 + $12,000 = $635,000.00. Then the debts: $310,000 + $18,000 + $22,000 + $4,500 + $6,000 = $360,500.00. Net worth is the difference: $635,000.00 − $360,500.00 = $274,500.00. The ratio is the debts divided by the assets: $360,500.00 ÷ $635,000.00 = 56.77%.
Setup: cash $25,000.00, investments $60,000.00, retirement $85,000.00, home $425,000.00, vehicles $28,000.00, other assets $12,000.00; mortgage $310,000.00, auto loans $18,000.00, student loans $22,000.00, credit cards $4,500.00, other debts $6,000.00.
Line 1 — the assets. $25,000 + $60,000 + $85,000 + $425,000 + $28,000 + $12,000 = $635,000.00.
Line 2 — the debts. $310,000 + $18,000 + $22,000 + $4,500 + $6,000 = $360,500.00.
Line 3 — the net worth. $635,000.00 − $360,500.00 = $274,500.00.
Line 4 — the ratio. $360,500.00 ÷ $635,000.00 = 56.77% — just over half of what you own is owed to someone else.
Line 5 — the check. A $300,000 net worth at these debts needs $660,500.00 of assets, which is $50,500.00 of cash with everything else held fixed, or a $450,500.00 home value. Rounding convention: figures are rounded to cents half-up, so rounded parts may differ by a cent from their rounded sum.
Cash $50,000: Assets $660,000.00, liabilities $360,500.00, net worth $299,500.00, ratio 54.62% Raising the cash to $50,000 adds $25,000 to the assets, so the net worth rises by the same $25,000 and the ratio falls.
Investments $100,000: Assets $675,000.00, liabilities $360,500.00, net worth $314,500.00, ratio 53.41% Raising the investments to $100,000 adds $40,000 to the assets and the net worth, and the ratio falls further.
Mortgage $250,000: Assets $635,000.00, liabilities $300,500.00, net worth $334,500.00, ratio 47.32% Cutting the mortgage to $250,000 cuts the debts by $60,000, so the net worth rises by $60,000 and the ratio drops below half.
Credit cards $0: Assets $635,000.00, liabilities $356,000.00, net worth $279,000.00, ratio 56.06% Paying the credit cards off entirely cuts the debts by $4,500 — the smallest debt, and the smallest move in the net worth.
Home $500,000: Assets $710,000.00, liabilities $360,500.00, net worth $349,500.00, ratio 50.77% A $500,000 home adds $75,000 to the assets and the net worth, and the ratio falls to just over half.
All debts $0: Assets $635,000.00, liabilities $0.00, net worth $635,000.00, ratio 0.00% With no debts at all the net worth is the whole $635,000 of assets and the ratio is 0.00% — nothing is owed to anyone.
Assets for a $500,000 net worth: $860,500.00 — at $860,500.00 of assets the net worth is $500,000.00; one cent less, $860,499.99, the net worth is $499,999.99. The star is DOLLARS (assets).
Liabilities for a $300,000 net worth: $335,000.00 — at $335,000.00 of liabilities the net worth is $300,000.00; one cent more, $335,000.01, the net worth is $299,999.99. The star is DOLLARS (liabilities).
Cash for a $300,000 net worth: $50,500.00 — at $50,500.00 of cash the net worth is $300,000.00; one cent less the net worth is $299,999.99. The star is DOLLARS (cash).
Home value for a $300,000 net worth: $450,500.00 — at a $450,500.00 home value the net worth is $300,000.00; one cent less the net worth is $299,999.99. The star is DOLLARS (home value).
Liabilities for a 50% debt-to-asset ratio: $317,500.00 — at $317,500.00 of liabilities the ratio is 50.00%; one cent less, $317,499.99, the unrounded ratio is 49.9999984%, which displays as 50.00% after rounding — just below 50%. The star is DOLLARS (liabilities).
The home is valued at what it would sell for today, not what you paid for it, and the vehicles at resale value, not replacement cost; the model does not include the value of a pension that has not vested, the value of a business, or future income — net worth is a snapshot of what you own and owe right now. With every figure at zero the assets are $0.00, the liabilities are $0.00, the net worth is $0.00 and the debt-to-asset ratio is undefined — you cannot divide by zero, so the calculator shows a dash instead of a number. With liabilities of $700,000 (a $649,500 mortgage and the same other debts) the net worth is -$65,000.00 and the ratio is 110.24% — more is owed than owned. With a single asset only — $25,000 of cash and nothing else, no debts — the assets are $25,000.00, the net worth is $25,000.00 and the ratio is 0.00%. Rounding convention: figures are rounded to cents half-up, so rounded parts may differ by a cent from their rounded sum; the reverses are smallest-value solutions, and the exact figures ($860,500.00, $335,000.00, $50,500.00, $450,500.00, $317,500.00) are stated wherever the rounded figures appear.

The math is first-principles: the assets are a straight sum, the debts are a straight sum, the net worth is the difference, and the ratio is the debts divided by the assets — every figure is rounded to cents half-up, and the reverses are smallest-value solutions with the exact figures ($860,500.00, $335,000.00, $50,500.00, $450,500.00, $317,500.00) stated wherever the rounded figures appear. What the model cannot do is value YOUR stuff: a home value is an estimate until it sells, a car’s resale value depends on condition and market, and collectibles are worth what a buyer will pay — use realistic values, not hopeful ones. It does not count future income, unvested pensions, or the value of a business you have not sold. Use it to track the number over time — the direction matters more than any single reading.
Bright Side Kit. "Net Worth Calculator: Assets, Debts & Your Number 2026" https://brightoolbox.com/net-worth-calculator/ Accessed October 26, 2026.$274,500.00. Net worth is total assets minus total liabilities: $635,000.00 − $360,500.00 = $274,500.00, a debt-to-asset ratio of 56.77%.
Under 50% is a common yardstick. On the defaults the ratio is 56.77%; the liabilities would have to fall to $317,500.00 — a $43,000.00 cut — to reach 50.00%. Lower is better, but a mortgage on a home that is rising in value is a different kind of debt from a credit card balance.
$50,500.00. At the default debts of $360,500.00 a $300,000 net worth needs $660,500.00 of assets, and with the other $610,000.00 of assets held fixed that is $50,500.00 of cash. One cent less, $50,499.99, gives a net worth of $299,999.99.
$860,500.00. Net worth plus debts: $500,000.00 + $360,500.00 = $860,500.00. One cent less in assets gives a net worth of $499,999.99.
Your net worth is negative. With $700,000.00 of liabilities against $635,000.00 of assets the net worth is -$65,000.00 and the debt-to-asset ratio is 110.24% — more is owed than owned. The fix is the same either way: raise assets, cut debts, or both.
Your net worth is $0.00 and the ratio is undefined. With $0.00 of assets there is nothing to divide by, so the calculator shows a dash for the ratio instead of a number.
Yes — at what it would sell for today, minus the mortgage. On the defaults a $425,000.00 home against a $310,000.00 mortgage adds $115,000.00 to the net worth. A $500,000.00 home value lifts the net worth to $349,500.00.
Add up everything you own, add up everything you owe, and subtract. On the defaults: $635,000.00 − $360,500.00 = $274,500.00. See the guide to calculating net worth for the step-by-step method.
