Your net worth is the single most important number in personal finance. Calculate yours and see how you compare to Canadians your age.
Net worth = Assets − Liabilities. It's the clearest snapshot of your financial health — more meaningful than income, because it reflects what you actually own versus what you owe. Calculating yours regularly (at least annually) is one of the most important financial habits you can build.
| Age Group | Median Net Worth | Average Net Worth |
|---|---|---|
| Under 35 | $48,000 | $110,000 |
| 35–44 | $234,000 | $466,000 |
| 45–54 | $453,000 | $786,000 |
| 55–64 | $690,000 | $1,100,000 |
| 65+ | $715,000 | $1,200,000 |
