Your financial worth, or net worth, is calculated by subtracting your total liabilities (everything you owe) from your total assets (everything you own). This figure provides a snapshot of your financial health, indicating whether you have more assets than debts. A positive net worth means your assets exceed your liabilities, while a negative net worth indicates the opposite. Regularly calculating your net worth helps you manage your finances and plan for the future.
