Your net worth is the value of all of your assets, minus the total of all of your liabilities. Put another way, it is what you own minus what you owe. If you owe more than you own, you have a negative net worth. If you own more than you owe you will have a positive net worth. This calculator helps you determine your net worth. It also estimates how your net worth could grow (or shrink!) over the next ten years.
By changing any value in the following form fields, calculated values are immediately provided for displayed output values. Click the view report button to see all of your results.

 

 

Annual asset growth

This is the annual rate you estimate that your assets will grow (or shrink with a negative rate). We use this to estimate the future total value of your assets for year two and beyond.

Annual liability growth

This is the annual rate you estimate that your liabilities will grow (or shrink with a negative rate). We use this to estimate the future total of your liabilities for years two and beyond. This is not the interest rate you are charged, but the change in your total outstanding balances year to year. If you believe your debt will be stable over time, not increasing or decreasing, you should enter zero.

Home

Current value of your home. This should be as close as possible to the actual market value of your home. If you have owned your home for a number of years, the current market value could be significantly higher than your original purchase price.

Other real estate

The value of any other real estate you may own. Include second homes, undeveloped land, rental property or any commercial buildings you may have an interest in. As with your home, use the actual market value of this real estate.

Automobiles

This is the total value of all automobiles that you own. Do not include any leased vehicles.

Other vehicles

If you own any other vehicles, such as RVs, campers or collectibles, enter them here.

Jewelry

The value of any jewelry, gems or precious metals such as gold. If you have owned these items for a number of years their value may have changed, remember to use the current market value.

Household items

The value of your household goods and items. This would include items such as furniture, home electronics, silverware, etc.

Registered retirement accounts

The current total balance of your registered retirement accounts. This would include RRSPs (term deposits, mutual funds), RRIFs, Employer Pension Plans, annuities and any other registered retirement savings you may have, such as TFSAs.

If you own any federal, provincial, municipal, or corporate bonds enter the total here.

Stocks

If you own any individual stocks, enter the total here. Again, do not include any stocks that are held in a registered retirement account.

Mutual funds

If you own any mutual funds, enter the total here. Do not include any mutual funds that are in your registered retirement accounts, they were already included in the 'Registered retirement accounts' line.

Cash value of life insurance

Some life insurance has a cash value. This is true for Whole Life and Universal Life policies. Term Life policies, on the other hand, usually have no cash value. If you have life insurance with a cash value, enter the total here. Remember, this should be the cash value of the policy, not the amount paid out if you were to collect on the policy.

Savings bonds

If you own any Savings Bonds enter the total here.

Chequing and savings

Cash

If you have any other cash, enter the total here.
