Calculating your Net Worth

So you think, you are well on your way to building wealth. Let us do a test to measure your current Net Worth:

1. Start with current market value of your major physical assets: house you are living in (if owned) + investment properties + bullion/jewelry. etc.

2. Add current market value of liquid and movable assets: mutual funds, stocks, bonds, bank accounts, derivatives, deposits, retirement accounts (PF), automobile(s), consumer durables (s) etc. Please note that automobiles and consumer durables would have depreciated in value and therefore use a reasonably accurate value of their market value

3. Add payout value (including target bonus) of endowment/investment type insurance policies. Ideally, you should use present value of the proposed payouts - however, if you cannot do this, use the payout value as an approximation. This approximation could overstate the current value of such instruments.

The total is your assets.

Now deduct the following liabilities:

4. Value of outstanding loans taken to buy properties + automobile(s) + consumer durables

5. Value of balance on credit cards + student loans + marriage loans + other loans/commitments

The net result is your current Net Worth. Does the picture still look pretty ?

Typically, one is financially stretched during the family building stage (30 - 50 years) after which a rapid rise in Net Worth is required for comfortable retirement. Please remember that people are retiring earlier and living longer !
