How to read your result
The headline net worth figure is only the starting point — the liquidity stack underneath tells the more useful story. A balance sheet can be impressively large and dangerously cash-light at the same time, with most value locked in property or retirement accounts while due-now bills sit against a thin cash cushion. That's exactly what liquid net worth measures: not "how wealthy am I on paper?" but "how much flexibility do I have if something goes wrong this month?" Check the debt-to-asset ratio for a leverage signal, and if you entered business equity or private shares, compare tangible net worth against the headline figure — a wide gap means a meaningful share of your wealth depends on valuations you can't easily verify. The real value of this calculator comes from re-running it quarterly and watching the trend, not from any single snapshot.
