The net worth formula
Net Worth is simply:
Total Assets – Total Liabilities = Net Worth
It’s the single truest measure of your financial position at a point in time. Salary shows how much you earn, but net worth shows how much you actually KEEP.
Track it every 3-6 months. If it’s growing, you’re building wealth. If it’s flat or shrinking, your lifestyle is outpacing your income.
PH-specific benchmarks by age
The classic Charles Farrell / Fisker rule adjusted for PH salaries:
| Age | Target Net Worth |
|---|---|
| 25 | 0.5× annual income |
| 30 | 1× annual income |
| 35 | 2× annual income |
| 40 | 3× annual income |
| 50 | 6× annual income |
| 60 | 10× annual income |
| 65 | 12-15× (retirement ready) |
Example: 40 years old earning ₱600K/year should target ₱1.8M net worth.
Common valuation mistakes
- Overvaluing real estate: Use current MARKET price, not purchase price or emotional value. Check similar listings on Lamudi.
- Ignoring depreciation: Cars lose 15-20%/year. That ₱1M car is worth ₱600K after 3 years.
- Counting income twice: Salary is not an asset. Only cash-in-hand and investments count.
- Forgetting hidden liabilities: Unpaid RPT, delayed insurance premiums, family utang — all count.
- Not deducting mortgage from house: If your house is worth ₱3M and you still owe ₱2M, your equity is ₱1M (not ₱3M).
- Overvaluing SSS/GSIS: Only include your accumulated contributions balance, not future pension expectations.
Debt-to-asset ratio (DTA) interpretation
- Under 30%: Excellent financial health. Low leverage.
- 30-50%: Healthy. Typical for someone with a mortgage.
- 50-70%: Elevated risk. Focus on debt paydown.
- Over 70%: Danger zone. One layoff or medical emergency and you’re insolvent.
PH households typically hover 40-60% during mortgage years. Aim for DTA under 30% by age 55 (mortgage paid off, kids independent).
How to grow your net worth (in order)
- Kill high-interest debt first: Credit cards at 42% APR crush any investment return. Payoff = 42% guaranteed return.
- Build 6-month emergency fund: Keeps you from taking on new debt during shocks.
- Max mandatory contributions: SSS/GSIS + Pag-IBIG. Free employer match = 100% instant return.
- Start Pag-IBIG MP2: 6-7% tax-free, government-backed. Lowest-risk inflation beater.
- Add PERA: 5% tax credit on up to ₱100K/year (₱200K OFW). Underused.
- Equity index funds: FMETF or bank equity UITFs for long-term wealth (10+ year horizon).
- Real estate (optional): Own your primary residence. Rental properties only if cash flow is positive.
- Skill acquisition: Your income potential is your biggest asset. Invest in skills that increase earnings by 20-50%.
Net worth vs income: why net worth matters more
Two people, both earning ₱100K/month:
- Person A: lifestyle = ₱95K, saves ₱5K/mo. After 10 years: ~₱600K net worth.
- Person B: lifestyle = ₱60K, invests ₱40K/mo. After 10 years: ~₱7M net worth.
Same income, 12× difference in wealth. Savings rate beats income size for long-term wealth.
