A few honest points. Valuations are estimates, and some are subjective — a house or car is worth what it would actually sell for, which you can only estimate, so use realistic market values rather than hopeful ones. Net worth is a snapshot in time, not a performance score: it moves as markets rise and fall, as you pay down debt, and as valuations change, so one figure is a starting point, not a verdict. And net worth can be negative — that's completely normal early in life, when a mortgage or student loans outweigh what you've built up, and it usually climbs over time as debts shrink and assets grow. This is an educational snapshot, not financial advice, and net worth alone doesn't capture your income or cash flow.
The headline feature is privacy. Net worth is about as personal as financial data gets, and most net-worth tools ask you to connect your bank and investment accounts. This one doesn't: every figure you enter stays in your browser, nothing is uploaded, there's no account, and it works offline. To turn the picture into action, pair it with the Budget Calculator.
- A financial check-up. Get a single number for where you stand.
- Tracking progress. Recalculate periodically to see net worth grow (save local snapshots).
- Debt vs assets. See how paying down debt lifts your net worth.
- Planning goals. Compare your net worth against a target, like a FIRE number.
- A private alternative. Skip account-linking apps and keep the data on your device.
Realistic example. Assets: $15,000 cash, $60,000 investments, $250,000 home, $12,000 car = $337,000. Liabilities: $200,000 mortgage, $8,000 car loan, $5,000 credit cards = $213,000. Net worth = $337,000 − $213,000 = $124,000. The breakdown shows how much is tied up in the (illiquid) home versus liquid assets.
Advanced tip. Track liquid net worth too — assets you could access quickly (cash and investments) minus liabilities. It's a better gauge of near-term flexibility than total net worth dominated by a home.
Common mistake to avoid. Don't inflate valuations. Use what an asset would realistically sell for today, not what you paid or hope to get.

What this snapshot is — and isn't
- A snapshot, not a score. Net worth moves with markets, debt paydown, and valuations; track the trend, not one figure.
- Valuations are estimates. Property, vehicles, and private assets are worth what they'd sell for — use realistic values.
- It can be negative. More debt than assets is common early on and usually improves over time.
- It's not the whole picture. Net worth ignores income and cash flow; pair it with a budget.
- Not financial advice. It's an educational tool.
- Radically private. No account linking — everything runs on your device and is never uploaded.
