🏠 What Counts as Net Worth?

Net worth is calculated by subtracting your liabilities (debts) from your assets. Common components include:

  • Property – Your home(s), land, and other real estate (minus mortgage)
  • Savings – Cash in bank accounts, ISAs, and savings accounts
  • Investments – Stocks, shares, bonds, and investment funds
  • Pensions – The current value of your pension pots
  • Vehicles – Cars, boats, and other vehicles
  • Personal Property – Valuables, art, jewellery, collections
  • Business Assets – Value of any businesses you own
  • Minus – Any outstanding loans, credit card debt, and other liabilities

📈 Wealth Inequality in the UK

  • The bottom 50% of households own less than 10% of total wealth
  • Wealth inequality has been relatively stable over the past decade
  • Property ownership is the biggest driver of wealth inequality
  • London and the South East have significantly higher wealth levels than other regions
