Personal Equity (Net worth)

The concept of equity applies to individual people as much as it does to businesses. We all have our own personal net worth, and a variety of assets and liabilities we can use to calculate our net worth.

Common examples of personal assets include:

1.      Cash

2.      Real estate

3.      Investments

4.      Furniture and household items

5.      Cars and other vehicles

Common examples of personal liabilities include:

1.      Credit card debt

2.      Lines of credit

3.      Outstanding bills (phone, electric, water, etc.)

4.      Student loans

5.      Mortgages

The difference between all your assets and all your liabilities is your personal net worth.

Example in Excel
