How It Works

Where does your net worth land among people your age? This tool answers that by benchmarking your figure against national data from the Federal Reserve's 2026 Survey of Consumer Finances, showing whether you sit above, below, or roughly in line with your peers and giving you a quick read on your financial health.

Working from your age and net worth, the calculator places you in a percentile rank using the Federal Reserve's 2026 SCF data. It measures your input against the median and average net worth for your age bracket and against a range of percentile markers, such as the 25th, 75th, and 90th.

Treat the result as one data point rather than a verdict. Net worth says nothing about future earning power or personal circumstances, like the heavy student loan debt that often accompanies a high-earning career. Fixating on the 'average' while ignoring your own goals and stage of life is the easiest way to misread the number.

Example: 35-Year-Old with $250,000 Net Worth

  1. 1 Input your current age (e.g., 35) and your total net worth (e.g., $250,000).
  2. 2 The calculator processes this data against the 2026 Federal Reserve SCF benchmarks for individuals aged 30-39. It identifies the median net worth for this age group as approximately $160,000 and the 75th percentile as $300,000.
  3. 3 Your net worth of $250,000 places you above the median for your age group, specifically around the 65th percentile. This indicates you are doing better than 65% of your peers in terms of net worth.
  4. 4 While your net worth is strong for your age, consider strategies to reach the 75th percentile and beyond, such as increasing retirement contributions, paying down high-interest debt, or exploring additional investment opportunities.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the median net worth for a 40-year-old American?
Based on the Federal Reserve Survey of Consumer Finances: under 35: median $39,000; 35-44: $135,000; 45-54: $247,000; 55-64: $364,000; 65-74: $410,000. The mean is much higher due to wealth concentration. Focus on the median for a realistic comparison.
How do I calculate my net worth?
Add all assets (home value, retirement accounts, savings, investments, vehicles) and subtract all liabilities (mortgage, student loans, car loans, credit card debt). Your net worth can be negative, especially in your 20s and 30s with student debt. Track it monthly or quarterly to see progress.
Is my net worth on track for retirement?
A common benchmark: by 30, save 1x your salary; by 40, 3x; by 50, 6x; by 60, 8x; by 67, 10x. If you earn $75,000 and are 40, aim for $225,000 in retirement savings. These are guidelines, not hard rules, and depend on your spending level and retirement goals.
