Quick answer
What will my net worth be in 10 years?
Your net worth today is assets minus liabilities. A useful projection separates the investable portion from assets and debts that do not all move at one growth rate, then models your starting balance, ongoing additions, timeline, and return assumption. WealthClock keeps the money you add separate from modeled growth so you can see which part of the answer depends on you—and which part depends on the assumption.

Investable net worth projection
This uses the same WealthClock convention as the compound-interest calculator: monthly additions at the end of each month, with the annual rate divided by 12. Taxes, fees, withdrawals, inflation, and changes in debt are not included.
01 — DefinitionNet worth and “investable net worth” are not the same thing
Total net worth = total assets − total liabilities
Your full net worth can include cash, investments, home equity, vehicles, business interests, and other assets, minus mortgages, loans, credit-card balances, and other debts. Those pieces do not all grow at one rate.
02 — FormulaHow the projection is calculated
Future value = starting balance × (1 + r)n + monthly addition × [((1 + r)n − 1) ÷ r]
Here, r is the annual growth assumption divided by 12, and n is the number of months. Recurring additions are modeled at the end of each month. If the growth assumption is 0%, the calculator simply adds the starting balance and monthly additions.
The WealthClock rule
The formula is the stable part. The growth assumption is the fragile part. Run the same numbers at several rates instead of treating one projection as destiny.
03 — Read the answerWhat the result actually tells you
The money already in the investable bucket begins compounding immediately in this model.
Your starting balance plus every monthly addition. This is the part controlled by the inputs, not the market assumption.
The difference between the projected balance and the money you supplied. This is the most assumption-sensitive number.
Try 4%, 7%, and 10% with every other input unchanged. The spread between the answers is often more useful than any single projection.
04 — FAQCommon net-worth projection questions
Does net worth include my house?
Yes. Full net worth is assets minus liabilities, so home equity can be part of it. This calculator deliberately does not grow every component of full net worth at one rate; it projects only the investable amount you enter.
Is 7% a realistic growth rate?
It is an example, not a forecast. Different assets and market periods can produce very different returns. Use the input to test lower, higher, and even negative scenarios.
Are monthly additions made at the beginning or end of the month?
At the end of each month. That matches WealthClock’s documented convention for recurring-growth tools.
Why is this different from the compound interest calculator?
The underlying growth math is intentionally consistent. This page frames the model around a question people ask about their own balance and clearly separates investable net worth from full household net worth.
