JOURNAL / THE BASICS

A difference, with context.

The overview subtracts recorded liabilities from recorded assets. The arithmetic is simple; the context matters.

Assets minus liabilities.

If recorded assets total 12,000 and recorded liabilities total 2,000 in the same currency, the recorded net position is 10,000. This is an arithmetic example, not a suggested balance or target.

A total is not a cash balance.

A recorded property or personal asset may not be readily available as cash. The overview does not assess liquidity, sale costs, taxes, ownership rights or whether an estimate could be realised.

The inputs set the limits.

Missing entries, old estimates and inconsistent dates affect the usefulness of the total. The tool does not verify entries with banks, institutions or market sources.
