Finance Scorecard

Stress-test your household finances across key benchmarks for Australia.

Why use this personal finance scorecard?

The Finance Scorecard is a free net worth tracker that benchmarks your assets, debts, savings rate, and emergency cushion against real household data. It highlights how your portfolio, cash flow, and protection metrics align with the habits of other families in various regions and stages of life. When you understand where you stand, you can prioritise debt payoff, investing, and insurance decisions that boost long-term wealth.

  • See how your investable assets stack up against local income percentiles.
  • Track debt-to-income and debt-to-asset ratios to maintain a resilient balance sheet.
  • Calibrate plans for single- or dual-income households and any number of dependants.
  • Model alternate regions to explore relocation or remote-work opportunities.

How the wealth tracking benchmarks work

We combine public datasets on after-tax income, regional cost-of-living adjustments, and age-based net worth multipliers to create a holistic financial health grade. Each category blends liquidity, investing, protection, and debt metrics so you know where to focus next. Update the sliders above to reflect your household and watch the insights refresh instantly.

Core inputs we analyse

  • Liquid savings and months of essential expenses covered.
  • Retirement and taxable investment balances relative to age.
  • Property equity plus other tangible assets compared to liabilities.

Build a personalised wealth roadmap
