3. Balance Sheet to Calculate Net Worth

Date

Use this balance sheet to calculate your net worth, which is the total value of what you own (assets) minus what you owe (liabilities). Your goal is to have a positive net worth that grows each year.

First, add up the approximate value of your assets, including your checking and savings accounts, investments, and property, such as your home (if you own it). Then add up your liabilities (debts), including any amounts you currently owe on a home mortgage, auto or student loans, credit card debt, and other outstanding amounts owed. Finally, subtract your liabilities from your assets to get your net worth.
