Net Worth Benchmark

Compare your net worth to a simple rule-of-thumb target and custom percentile benchmarks. See where you stand, how many times your income you've accumulated, and how far you are from the next band up.

Your Profile

Net worth = assets minus debts. Include investment accounts, savings, home equity, and major debts like student loans or credit cards.

You are above your median target and trending toward the top quartile. Staying consistent is often more important than big swings.

Progress to Next Band

At $250,000 of net worth, you're in the Between 50th–75th percentile band.

To reach the 75th percentile benchmark, you would need roughly an additional $350,000 of net worth, assuming your income and targets stay the same.

A simple mental model: focus on growing your net worth multiple over time (net worth ÷ income). Many long-term savers aim for a multiple that rises steadily with age.
