Add up everything you own and everything you owe to get the one number that summarises your financial position — then look at its composition, which is what determines whether that number can actually support you.
Step 1
List what you own
Use today's realistic market value, not what you paid. A car is worth its resale price, not its invoice.
Step 2
List what you owe
Outstanding principal on every loan, plus any card balance you are carrying rather than clearing.
Step 3
Add your age and income
Optional, but they turn a bare figure into something you can actually judge against a benchmark.
Net worth
₹62,00,000
Everything you own, less everything you owe.
Productive assets
₹36,00,000
Deposits, equity, retirement accounts and gold — the assets that generate a return.
Debt against assets
41%
Comfortable leverage. Below 50% is generally considered sound.
Against the age benchmark
74%
The conventional yardstick — age × income ÷ 10 — puts you at ₹84,00,000 for your age and income.
Liquid assets
₹8,00,000
Cash and deposits you could reach within a day or two without a penalty. This is what an emergency actually draws on.
The arithmetic is trivial. What makes the statement useful is separating assets that generate a return from ones that only cost you money to keep.
Net worth = Total assets − Total liabilities
Productive share = Invested assets ÷ Total assets
Debt to assets = Total liabilities ÷ Total assetsEverything you own
At current market value, across every category.
Everything you owe
Outstanding balances, not original loan amounts.
Productive holdings
Deposits, equity, retirement accounts and gold — assets that earn a return, as distinct from a home you live in or a car you drive.
Two people with identical net worth can be in completely different positions. One holding ₹80 lakh in index funds and deposits has an asset base that can fund a retirement; one holding ₹80 lakh in the house they live in and two cars does not.
It is a snapshot, not a score of whether you are “winning.” Use consistent values (what the asset would roughly sell for, what you still owe).
