Equity & Net Worth Sheet

This sheet uses formulas to calculate total assets, total liabilities, and net worth using SUM functions from the Assets and Liabilities sheets. It also tracks changes over time for trend analysis.

Formulas Required

• =IF((Assets!D2 - Assets!C2) > 0, "Appreciating", "Depreciating"): Automatically labels asset performance.
• =ROUND((NetWorthCurrent - NetWorthPrevious)/NetWorthPrevious * 100, 2): Calculates net worth change percentage annually.

Conditional Formatting

• Highlight negative net worth values in red.
• Color-code asset values based on appreciation rate: green for +3%+, yellow for +1–3%, red for below 0%.
• Show overdue debt reminders in bold and orange if maturity date is within 90 days.
