| About this Calculator This calculator was
designed to help you to take a "picture" of your current financial condition
Whereas an income and expense statement shows you your financial picture for a period of
time (month, year, etc.), this Net Worth Calculator will show you your financial picture
at a single point in time (a specific date). That way, if you compute your Net Worth now,
and then again 3 months from now, you will be able to tell whether your financial picture
is improving or getting worse.
General Instructions
Starting at the top and working your way down, complete and calculate the totals for
each of the six sections. Be sure to click on each section's "Compute..." button
before going on to the next section. Once you've computed the entire worksheet, including
the Summary Assets & Liabilities, you can then go back and edit your entries. Just be
sure to re-compute each section after editing. Once you're comfortable with your Cash Flow
Forecast you can then click on the "Create Report" button at the bottom of the
worksheet. This will create a condensed report in a new window that you can print-out and
compare to your other Net Worth Reports (you may have to press CTRL-P in order to print
the report). |

Column/Field Explanations. Example
Accounts: A listing of the types of assets or liabilities recommended for the current
section.
Description: The description you want to appear on the Cash Flow Report.
Market Value (Assets): Enter the current market value (what you could sell the
item for, not what you paid for the item) for each line-item.
Amount Owed (Liabilities): Enter the amount it would take to pay off the
liability as of today's date. Please note that this is not the same as simply multiply the
number of payments by the payment amount, since that would include interest charges that
has not yet been incurred.
