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)
