Net Worth Tracker for Freelancers

Variable income makes tracking harder. See your net worth trend regardless of monthly income swings.

Net Worth Benchmarks by Age

These are general guidelines based on saving approximately 15-20% of income consistently. Your actual target depends on your income, expenses, and financial goals.

30

Age 30

1x average annual income + 6-month runway

40

Age 40

3x average annual income

50

Age 50

6x average annual income

Remember: your net worth trend over time matters more than any single benchmark. Track monthly and focus on consistent progress.

Tax-Advantaged Accounts to Track

SEP IRA / Solo 401(k) (US)
Incorporated? Use corporate investing (Canada)
Quarterly tax set-asides

Common Assets to Include

Your net worth includes everything you own with monetary value. Make sure to track these:

Business savings (6+ month runway)
SEP IRA / Solo 401(k)
Index funds
Emergency fund (larger than employees)
Client receivables

FIRE Number Calculation

Freelancer FIRE: use your average income over 3 years, not your best month. Build a bigger cash buffer (6-12 months) before aggressive investing.

Label assets clearly in TrackWorth (e.g., "Business checking", "Personal TFSA") to separate business and personal finances.
