Net Worth

💡 In plain English: Everything you own minus everything you owe — the single most honest measure of your financial health.

Definition

The total value of all your assets (investments, property, savings) minus all your liabilities (loans, credit card debt).

📌 Real-World Example

Assets: ₹40L home equity + ₹12L mutual funds + ₹3L savings = ₹55L. Liabilities: ₹20L home loan + ₹2L credit card = ₹22L. Net Worth = ₹33L.

🔢 Formula

Net Worth = Total Assets − Total Liabilities
