Net worth projection

A net worth projection estimates how total assets minus total liabilities could change over time under a chosen set of assumptions.

  • It summarizes the plan at a high level.
  • It should be tied to underlying cash flow and debt changes.
  • It is strongest when paired with scenario analysis.

Definition

A net worth projection forecasts the future path of your assets and liabilities so you can estimate how overall wealth may change over time.

Why the definition is not enough by itself

A single net worth line can hide what is actually driving the result. Strong planning tools connect the projection to contributions, debt payoff, growth assumptions, and timing changes.
