What you’ll need
- Mortgage balance and interest rate (optional)
- Your preferred net worth definition (with or without home equity)
Step-by-step checklist
- Decide whether your net worth view includes home equity (many do).
- If including home value, ensure the mortgage liability is included too.
- If excluding home value, consider excluding the mortgage for consistency (optional).
- Review month-to-month changes to make sure they’re driven by reality (payments, value updates).
Common pitfalls
- Including the mortgage without including the home value (net worth looks too low).
- Including home value twice via different asset accounts.
- Mixing different net worth definitions over time.
