How to Use This Calculator

Tab "Net Worth"

Enter the current value of all your assets — primary home, other real estate, RRSP, TFSA, FHSA, RESP, non-registered investments, pension, vehicles, cash and savings, and any other assets. Then enter all liabilities — mortgage balance, HELOC, student loans, car loan, credit card debt, line of credit, and other debts. The calculator shows your total net worth, asset and liability totals, debt-to-asset ratio, and a full breakdown of your asset composition.

Tab "Benchmarks"

Select your age group to compare your net worth against the Canadian median (the midpoint — half of Canadians have more, half have less) and average (pulled higher by wealthy outliers). The calculator also estimates your percentile ranking among Canadians in your age group, using data from the Statistics Canada 2023 Survey of Financial Security.

Tab "Tracker"

Enter your net worth at two dates (or use your current net worth from the first tab as date 2). The calculator computes your annual growth rate (CAGR), absolute change, and projects your net worth to age 65 at the same growth rate. Use this to track whether you are on pace for a comfortable retirement.

Net Worth Formula

Net Worth = Total Assets − Total Liabilities

Assets include:
Primary home (market value) + Other real estate + RRSP + TFSA + FHSA + RESP + Non-registered investments + Pension value + Vehicle(s) + Cash & savings + Other assets

Liabilities include:
Mortgage balance + HELOC + Student loans + Car loan + Credit card debt + Line of credit + Other debts

Key ratios:
Debt-to-asset ratio = Total liabilities / Total assets
Home equity = Home value − Mortgage balance
Registered accounts = RRSP + TFSA + FHSA + RESP

Net worth is the single most comprehensive measure of your financial health. Unlike income (which measures cash flow), net worth captures your accumulated wealth — what you actually own after accounting for what you owe.

Example

The Nguyens — Couple, age 38, homeowners in Ottawa

Combined household income of $140,000. Purchased their home in 2019. Two young children.

Assets
Primary home (market value)$600,000
RRSP$80,000
TFSA$50,000
RESP$12,000
Vehicle$15,000
Cash & savings$10,000
Total assets$767,000
Liabilities
Mortgage balance$420,000
Car loan$15,000
Credit card debt$5,000
Total liabilities$440,000
Net worth$327,000

The Nguyens' net worth of $327,000 is above the median of $320,000 for Canadians aged 35-44. Home equity ($180,000) represents 55% of their assets — typical for Canadian homeowners. Their debt-to-asset ratio is 57%, which is moderate. By continuing regular mortgage payments and RRSP/TFSA contributions, they are on track to build significant wealth by retirement.

Frequently Asked Questions

Net worth is the total value of everything you own (assets) minus everything you owe (liabilities). Assets include your home equity, RRSP, TFSA, FHSA, RESP, non-registered investments, pension value, vehicles, cash and savings, and other property. Liabilities include your mortgage balance, HELOC, student loans, car loans, credit card debt, and lines of credit. Net worth is the single best measure of your overall financial health.
According to the 2023 Statistics Canada Survey of Financial Security, median net worth by age group is approximately: under 35 — $70,000; 35-44 — $320,000; 45-54 — $520,000; 55-64 — $690,000; 65+ — $680,000. Average net worth is higher due to wealth concentration: under 35 — $150,000; 35-44 — $520,000; 45-54 — $870,000; 55-64 — $1,200,000; 65+ — $1,100,000. The median is a better benchmark for most Canadians.
Home equity (home value minus mortgage balance) is the single largest component of net worth for most Canadians, accounting for approximately 50% of total assets on average. In expensive markets like Toronto and Vancouver, home equity can represent an even larger share. This heavy concentration in real estate is a key feature — and risk — of Canadian household wealth. Renters typically have lower net worth but may have more liquid and diversified assets.
Negative net worth (owing more than you own) is common among young Canadians, especially those with student loans who have not yet built significant assets. It is also possible after purchasing a home with a small down payment. The key is whether your net worth is trending upward over time. Focus on paying down high-interest debt first (credit cards, then lines of credit), building an emergency fund, and contributing to registered accounts (TFSA, RRSP, FHSA).
To increase your net worth: (1) Pay down high-interest debt first — credit cards charge 19-22%, which erodes net worth fastest. (2) Maximize tax-advantaged accounts — TFSA ($7,000/year for 2025), RRSP (18% of earned income), and FHSA ($8,000/year for first-time homebuyers). (3) Build home equity through regular mortgage payments and property appreciation. (4) Invest consistently in low-cost diversified index funds. (5) Track your net worth quarterly to stay motivated and catch problems early.
