ANSWER FIRST

Net worth is assets minus liabilities. This calculator compares that amount with selected 2022 Survey of Consumer Finances percentile breakpoints for the age of the household reference person.

READ THE RESULT

How to use the estimate

  • Focus on the median and broad percentile band rather than a one-point ranking.
  • Use the gap-to-median result as context, not a verdict on financial health.
  • Compare consistently over time: household with household, and include or exclude home equity the same way each time.
LIMITS

What the calculator cannot know

  • The model interpolates between published percentile breakpoints; it does not rerun the Federal Reserve microdata.
  • Upper percentiles have smaller samples and more uncertainty.
  • Results are U.S. household comparisons in survey-period dollars, not a global wealth rank or financial advice.

FAQ

Net Worth Percentile Calculator by Age FAQ

What is included in net worth?

Add the current value of household assets and subtract all liabilities. Be consistent about home equity, retirement balances and business ownership.

Is the percentile exact?

No. It is an interpolation between selected published breakpoints and should be read as a broad benchmark.

Why compare net worth by age?

People have had different amounts of time to save, invest and repay debt. Age context is useful, although it still cannot explain every household circumstance.

Is this an individual or household comparison?

The underlying SCF is family or household based. Combine household assets and liabilities for the closest comparison.
