In business, Net worth (sometimes "net assets") is the total assets minus total liabilities of an individual or a company. For a company, this is called hareholders' equity and may be referred to as book value. Net worth is stated for a particular point in time.
In personal finance, net worth is also used to refer to an individual's net financial position; similarly, it also
uses the value of all assets minus the value of all liabilities (debt).
Net worth in business is generally based on the value of all assets and liabilities at the carrying value, that is, the value as expressed on the financial statements. To the extent that items on the balance sheet do not express their true ("market") value, the net worth will also be
inaccurate.
Net worth in this formulation is not an expression of the market value of the firm: the firm may be worth more (or less) if sold as a going concern.
The net worth of a company can be calculated in following two ways.
A. Share Capital + Reserves and Surplus + Share application money - Ficititious Assets
OR
B. Total Assets - Ficititious Assets - Outside Liabilities (i.e. to say Secured Loans, Unsecured Loans, Current Liabilities and Provisions, Deferred Tax Liabilities)

For a company, total assets minus total liabilities. Net worth is an important determinant of the value of a company, considering it is composed primarily of all the money that has been invested since its inception, as well as the retained earnings for the duration of its operation. Net worth can be used to determine creditworthiness because it gives a snapshot of the company's investment history. also called owner's equity, shareholders' equity, or net assets.
For an individual, the value of a person's assets, including cash, minus all liabilities. The amount by which the individual's assets exceed their liabilities is considered the net worth of that person.
