About the What-If Payoff

  • Ticking What-If on any liability adds it to your payoff scenario in the summary below.
  • You will see how your total liabilities, net worth, and debt ratio change if those debts were gone.
  • This is a planning view only — it does not actually pay down your debt or change your numbers.
YOUR NET WORTH SUMMARY
This section updates automatically as you fill in the sections above. Use it as a starting point — not a judgment. A balance sheet that looks strong on paper can still feel tight if most of your wealth is tied up and hard to access.

How Your Balance Sheet Is Working

Fill in your numbers above and this panel will give you a plain-English read on where you stand — including a benchmark or two worth knowing.

Net Worth

Net worth is what you own minus what you owe. It is a snapshot, not a grade. Formula: Total Assets minus Total Liabilities.

Liquid Net Worth

Liquid net worth focuses on money you can reach quickly, then subtracts your short-term liabilities. This tells you how much flexibility you actually have right now — not just on paper.

Liquid Assets

Money you can access quickly, usually without a penalty. Examples: checking, savings, money market, GICs/CDs, T-bills, taxable brokerage. Retirement accounts count toward total net worth but are excluded from liquid net worth by default.

Debt Ratio

Your total liabilities divided by your total assets, shown as a percentage. A lower number means more room to move. Example: $200,000 in debt and $500,000 in assets = 40% debt ratio.

Rule of thumb: above 50% is worth watching; above 75% is worth having a plan for.

Real Estate & Personal Property

Use current market value — what it would realistically sell for today. These add to net worth, but may take time to sell. That is why someone can look wealthy on paper and still feel tight on cash.

Business Equity, Pensions, RSUs

These can be significant, but are hard to value precisely. Use a conservative estimate. When unsure, round down rather than up.

Liabilities

Enter current balances owed — not monthly payments. Short-term liabilities pressure cash flow fastest. Long-term liabilities matter most for financial flexibility over time.

What-If Payoff

A planning tool — not a magic button. Ticking What-If shows you how your balance sheet would look if that debt were gone. Use it to weigh which payoff would have the biggest impact.

GIC / CD / T-Bill

Short-term fixed-income investments. A GIC is the Canadian version of a CD. T-Bills are short-term government securities. All are generally low-risk and count as liquid once they mature.

TFSA / Roth IRA

Tax-free savings accounts. Contributions are made with after-tax dollars; withdrawals are generally tax-free. TFSA is Canadian; Roth IRA is the U.S. equivalent.

RRSP / 401(k) / Traditional IRA

Tax-deferred retirement accounts. You get a tax break when you contribute, but pay tax on withdrawals. RRSP is Canadian; 401(k) and Traditional IRA are U.S. versions.

FHSA / HSA

Purpose-specific savings accounts. FHSA (First Home Savings Account) is for Canadian first-time home buyers. HSA (Health Savings Account) is a U.S. account for medical expenses. Both offer tax advantages.

RESP / 529

Education savings accounts. The RESP is Canadian; the 529 is the U.S. equivalent. Both grow tax-sheltered for post-secondary education costs.
