What Is Net Worth Also Called Capital?
Net worth is also called capital because it measures the value left after subtracting liabilities from assets. In personal finance, it shows your financial position at a specific point in time.
How Net Worth and Capital Are Calculated
To calculate net worth, add all assets such as cash, investments, and property, then subtract all debts. The result is your capital, which represents the wealth you have built.
