Overview
The Net Worth Dashboard is for anyone who wants to understand their overall financial position and whether it is improving over time.
It brings together the balances and trends from the accounts you have connected. Use it to see your current net worth, track how it changes, and identify which assets, debts, or accounts are contributing to the change.
What is Net Worth?
Your net worth is the value of everything you own minus everything you owe.
Net Worth = Assets − Debt
Assets include things you own that have financial value, such as cash, savings, investments, property, and vehicles. Debt includes your liabilities—the amounts you owe—such as credit card balances, mortgages, vehicle loans, and other loans.
To open the Net Worth Dashboard, select Net Worth from the navigation.
Questions the Net Worth Dashboard Can Answer
Use the dashboard to answer questions such as:
-
What is my current net worth?
-
Has my net worth increased or decreased?
-
Are my assets growing faster than my debt?
-
What is driving the biggest change in my net worth?
-
Which types of assets make up most of my wealth?
-
Which debts make up most of what I owe?
-
Which accounts are contributing most to a change?
-
How is my debt changing compared with my assets?
Why Check Your Net Worth?
Net worth is one way to measure your overall financial progress. Unlike an individual account balance, it considers your assets and debts together.
Checking your net worth regularly can help you:
-
Track long-term progress. See whether your overall financial position is improving, even when individual account balances fluctuate.
-
Understand what is driving change. Determine whether a change came from growing assets, declining assets, increasing debt, or debt reduction.
-
Spot changes that need attention. Notice rising debt, declining cash balances, or other shifts you may want to investigate.
-
See the effect of financial decisions. Understand how saving, investing, paying down debt, or making a major purchase affects your broader financial picture.
-
Prepare for financial conversations. Review your current assets and debts before meeting with a financial or tax professional.
Short-term fluctuations are normal, particularly when your net worth includes investment accounts. Checking your net worth monthly or quarterly can help you focus on your overall direction rather than reacting to daily changes.
What You’ll Find on the Dashboard
The Net Worth Dashboard is organized into several areas. Each one provides a different way to review your financial position.
Time Period and Included Accounts
Where to find it: At the top of the dashboard.
What it does: Use the time-period options to choose the period you want to review, such as one month, one year, quarter to date, or year to date.
The number of accounts currently included appears on the right. Use the three-dot menu to change which existing accounts are included in your net worth. If you need to add a new account to Quicken, select + Account.

What it does: The chart shows your current net worth or selected balance and how much it changed during the selected period.
Use the chart menu in the upper-right corner to choose what the chart shows:

Assets vs. debt helps you determine whether assets, debt, or both contributed to a change.

Make Sure Your Net Worth Is Complete
Your Net Worth Dashboard is based on the accounts you choose to include. These can include:
-
Cash and checking accounts
-
Savings accounts
-
Brokerage and retirement accounts
-
Vehicles, property, and other tracked assets
-
Credit cards
-
Mortgages, vehicle loans, and other liabilities
-
Business asset and liability accounts in Quicken Business & Personal
If an account is excluded, it is not included in your net worth total, charts, Debt to Asset Ratio, or Breakdown panel.
Connected accounts reflect the most recently downloaded balances available to Quicken. Manually tracked assets and liabilities reflect the most recent values you entered.
