Learn the net worth formula for India: liquid cash, mutual funds, stocks, EPF/PPF/NPS, gold, property, and loans — and how to track it monthly.
What is net worth?
Net worth is what you own minus what you owe. In India that usually means adding liquid savings, investments, gold, and property, then subtracting home loans, personal loans, credit card balances, and other debt.
•
Assets: bank balances, FDs, mutual funds, stocks, EPF/PPF/NPS, gold, property value
•
Liabilities: home loan outstanding, car loan, personal loan, credit card dues
•
Net worth = total assets − total liabilities
Net worth formula (India)
Use one consistent method each month. Include retirement balances (EPF/PPF/NPS) at current statement value, mark property at a realistic sale estimate, and always subtract outstanding loan principal — not the EMI.
Why track it monthly?
A single snapshot is useful, but the trend matters more. Monthly tracking shows whether savings, EMIs, and market moves are pulling you toward or away from your goals — without needing perfect bank feeds on day one.
Common mistakes
People often forget loans, ignore illiquid EPF, or double-count property. Consistency beats perfection.

Frequently asked questions
What is the formula for net worth in India?
Net worth = total assets − total liabilities. Include bank balances, FDs, mutual funds, stocks, EPF/PPF/NPS, gold, and property; subtract home loans, personal loans, and credit card dues.
Should EPF and PPF count in net worth?
Yes. Use the current balance from your EPFO/PPF statement. They are less liquid than a savings account, but they are still assets you own.
How often should I update my net worth?
Monthly is enough for most people. Update liquid cash and loans when EMIs change; refresh MF/stock values monthly; revalue property once or twice a year.
