Track Your Personal Net Worth and Assets with SparkyMinis Lifestyle
Net Worth Tracker
Navigate to: Dashboard > Lifestyle > Net Worth (/dashboard/lifestyle/net-worth)
Your net worth is the single most honest number about your financial health. Unlike income (which shows what you earn) or savings (which shows what you have in a bank), net worth captures the full picture:
Net Worth = Total Assets − Total Liabilities
SparkyMinis keeps this number current, visual, and actionable.
Understanding the Overview
The Net Worth overview page shows:
- Total Assets — Everything you own with monetary value.
- Total Liabilities — Everything you owe.
- Net Worth — The difference. Green = positive, red = negative (debt-heavy).
- Month-over-Month Change — How your net worth has shifted in the last 30 days.
- Asset vs Liability Breakdown — A visual chart showing the composition of your wealth.
Asset Types
SparkyMinis categorises assets to give you meaningful breakdowns:
| Asset Type | Examples |
|---|---|
| Cash & Bank | Savings accounts, current accounts, cash on hand |
| Investments | Mutual funds, stocks, ETFs, bonds |
| Property | Real estate, land, commercial property |
| Retirement | EPF, PPF, NPS, 401(k), pension funds |
| Business Assets | Equity in your own company, business receivables |
| Vehicle | Car, motorcycle, other owned vehicles |
| Other | Gold, jewellery, collectibles, receivables |

SIP / Recurring Investment Projections
For each investment asset, you can set up an SIP (Systematic Investment Plan) projection:
- Open an Investment asset.
- In the SIP / Recurring section, toggle it on.
- Enter:
- Monthly Contribution — How much you invest each month.
- Expected Annual Return (CAGR) — Your expected growth rate (e.g., 12% for equity MFs).
- Investment Horizon — Number of years.
- The system calculates your projected future value using compound interest.
This gives you a forward-looking view alongside your current snapshot.
Multi-Currency Assets
For foreign assets (e.g., a USD savings account, a UK pension):
- Set the asset's currency to the relevant foreign currency.
- Enter the current value in that currency.
- Enter the exchange rate when prompted.
- The Net Worth overview converts it to your Home Currency for the consolidated total.
AI Insights (if enabled)
If you have enabled AI features in Settings > Security & Privacy, the AI Insights panel beneath the Net Worth overview will surface:
- Observations about your asset/liability ratio.
- Suggestions on rebalancing or priority debt repayment.
- Flagging if any asset type is under-represented.
These are suggestions only and should not replace professional financial advice.
Privacy & Sharing
Net Worth data is private by default. Even if you share your workspace with a team member:
- Net Worth is in the Lifestyle suite, not Business.
- Only users explicitly granted Lifestyle > Net Worth access can view it.
- Vault Admins with full Lifestyle access can see it; regular Editors cannot unless explicitly allowed.
