Add up the money in all your accounts (bank, retirement, venmo, etc), any stocks or other investments, and the value of all your property (house, car, land). You could add up the value of other possessions like furniture and whatnot but most people don’t. Then when you have that number you subtract all outstanding debts (credit cards, medical bills, and payoff amounts for houses and cars). The number your left with is your net worth. It’s basically how much money would be left if you died and everything you have is sold off.
It’s your assets – debts.
So add up the value of your investments, retirement accounts, equity in home, cars.
Subtract debt like balance on mortgage, car loan, student loans, credit card balance.
The difference is your net worth.
Imagine you have a stock portfolio worth $50k. $100k in a 401k. Your home is worth $400k and your mortgage balance is $180k. You have a car worth $20k you still owe $10k on. And a credit card balance of $5k.
Your net worth is 50+100+(400-180)+(20-10)-5 = $375k
