Add up what you own, take away what you owe, and see your net worth in rupees with the line-by-line breakdown a chartered accountant starts from: for anyone working out their own figure before asking for a certificate for a bank, an embassy or a tender.
How to use it
1Pick the date first, then take every balance, price and loan figure as on that day.
2Enter each asset at its value on the date and each loan at the amount still outstanding.
3Press Calculate. You get the total, the breakdown and the assumptions a CA would state.

Assumptions behind this figure
Figures as entered; nothing is verified against a document.
From your estimate to a certificate
From your estimate to a certificate
A bank, an embassy or a tender authority does not act on your own total. It asks for the same statement, examined and signed by a chartered accountant.
What the recipient asks for
They want a net worth certificate signed by a CA: the same list of what you own and owe, each line tied to a document, taken as on one date, with the valuation basis stated and a UDIN the recipient can verify on the ICAI portal. Your worksheet figure is the starting point for that work, not a substitute for it.
Calculate your figure first. The button to talk to a CA appears with your result.
What changes between your figure and the certified one
Every line is tied to a document: bank statement, deposit receipt, NAV statement, sale deed, valuation report, loan statement.
Property goes in at a value the CA can support, and at your share as the deed records it.
Loans you have stood guarantor for are listed beneath the total, not deducted from it.
The certificate states the date the values are taken at and the basis used for each class of asset.
It is signed by the CA with a UDIN, which the bank, embassy or authority can check on the ICAI portal.
How the number is built
How the figure is worked out
Net worth is what you own less what you owe, every value taken on one date. The calculator does that sum and nothing more, and says so beside the result.
The sum the page performs
+Every asset line at its value on the date, with the property line counted at the share you entered.
−Every liability line at the amount still outstanding on the date.
=Net worth. Positive when you own more than you owe; negative when the loans are larger than the assets.
Loans you have stood guarantor for are added up separately and shown beneath the total. No line is weighted, depreciated, revalued or converted into another currency.
As at which date
One date for everything. The bank balance, the NAV, the gold price and the loan balance are all taken as on that day, and the result prints it. Mixing a March bank balance with a June share price is the most common reason a figure is sent back.
Leave the date blank and the page uses today, and says so in the assumptions.

Values as you enter themNothing is looked up, adjusted or verified. If a line is wrong, the total is wrong by the same amount.
Property at the share you enterThe full value times your share. Which basis the value is on, market, valuer or circle rate, is your choice; a certificate names it.
Not a certificateThe figure is for your own planning. Anyone relying on it will ask for the same statement checked and signed by a chartered accountant.

Before a CA signs
Adjustments a CA makes before certifying
These are the lines that most often move a self-prepared figure. Apply them in the worksheet and the certified total will land close to yours.
Your share of the property, not the whole
A flat held jointly with a spouse is usually 50:50 in the deed. Both spouses showing the full value doubles the household's net worth on paper, and a lender or embassy notices. The CA takes the share the deed records.
A fixed deposit is worth its principal plus the interest accrued from the last credit date up to the chosen date, not the maturity value. Banks issue an interest certificate on request.
What you invested is history. The certificate carries the units at the NAV and the shares at the closing price on the date, straight from the account statement or the demat holding statement.
Premiums paid are money spent, not an asset. What counts is the amount the insurer would pay if the policy were surrendered on the date, which the insurer quotes on request. A pure term plan has no surrender value and is left out.
Vehicles, gold and valuables go in at a figure that can be shown: the insured declared value on the motor policy, a jeweller's valuation, a registered valuer's report for property. No fixed depreciation table is applied; the basis is stated on the certificate.
If you have stood guarantor for someone else's loan, the certificate lists it beneath the total as a contingent liability. It does not reduce net worth unless the borrower fails to pay, but leaving it out misstates the position.
