Net Worth Calculator 2026/27
Net worth equals total assets minus total liabilities. With £360,000 in assets (home, savings, pension, investments, vehicle) and £201,500 in liabilities (mortgage, loans, credit cards), the net worth is approximately £158,500. Tracking this number annually is the most powerful way to monitor your long-term financial progress.

How Net Worth Calculator 2026/27 Works
What counts as an asset?
Assets include anything you own that has monetary value: your property (estimated market value), savings accounts, ISAs, pension pot, investment portfolios, vehicles, and any other valuables. For defined benefit pensions, a common estimate is 20× the annual pension entitlement.
What counts as a liability?
Liabilities are amounts you owe: outstanding mortgage balance, personal loans, car finance, credit card balances, and any other debts. Note: UK student loans are unusual. Many financial advisers suggest excluding Plan 2/5 loans as they behave like a graduate tax rather than a conventional debt.
Why track net worth?
Income tells you how much you're earning; net worth tells you how much you're keeping. A high earner who spends everything has zero net worth. Tracking it annually reveals whether you're truly building wealth and helps you make smarter decisions about spending, debt, and savings.
Frequently Asked Questions
ONS data suggests median UK net worth: 25 to 34: £25,000 to £50,000; 35 to 44: £100,000 to £200,000; 45 to 54: £200,000 to £350,000; 55 to 64: £350,000+. Property ownership significantly affects these figures.
Yes, though it's illiquid until retirement age (57 from 2028). Defined contribution: use the current pot value. Defined benefit: estimated as 20× the annual pension entitlement.
UK student loans (Plan 2, 5) are often excluded by financial advisers because they're written off after 30-40 years and payments are income-contingent, more like a graduate tax. Plan 1 loans with low balances near payoff are worth including.
At least annually, ideally at the same date each year (e.g. tax year start, April 6). This removes seasonal fluctuations and gives you a consistent year-on-year growth picture. Many people do it quarterly.
