Net worth is a “financial snapshot” at a given time of your financial status. Calculating net worth regularly can provide valuable insight into one’s financial health. Net worth is calculated by subtracting liabilities from assets. Assets represent items owned that have economic value. Liabilities are debts. The difference between assets and liabilities is net worth.
