How the calculator works
- What you own: cash and savings (including offset accounts), super, other investments, your home, vehicles and anything else of value, at what each is worth today.
- What you owe: your home loan, car loans, HELP debt, credit cards and other debts.
- Net worth is the difference. The calculator also shows your home equity (home value less the loan), your net worth without your home, and the cash and investments you could reach without selling your home or touching your super.
