Multi-Currency Net-Worth Tracker
If your money sits in more than one currency, no single banking app can tell you what you are worth. Here is what actually breaks when you add it up by hand, the five steps to a correct multi-currency net worth, and what to demand from a tracker before you trust its number.
Why one banking app can never show your net worth
A bank app shows one institution, in one currency. If you have a salary account in one country, savings in another, a brokerage somewhere else and a mortgage in a third currency, every app you own is telling you the truth about a fragment — and none of them can tell you the only number that matters: what you are worth in total, today, in the currency you actually think in.
This is the ordinary situation for expats, immigrants, cross-border workers, remote employees paid in a foreign currency, and anyone who has moved countries and left accounts behind. The gap is not exotic. It is just unserved by tools built for people whose money sits in one place.
What breaks when you add it up by hand
- The rate is stale the moment you paste it. A spreadsheet freezes the exchange rate at the moment you typed it; your net worth then drifts silently and you keep quoting last month’s number.
- Rate dates get mixed. Converting one account today and another one three weeks ago produces a total that is internally inconsistent — and there is nothing on the page to tell you.
- Liabilities in a third currency get forgotten. Assets are pleasant to list; a foreign-currency loan is easy to leave off, and it is exactly the line that makes the total wrong.
- Currency exposure stays invisible. One number in one currency hides the fact that, say, 70% of your wealth moves with a currency you do not spend in.
How to calculate net worth across several currencies — five steps
- List every asset in the currency it is actually held in. Cash, deposits, market holdings, property, gold, crypto, money you have lent — each recorded in its native currency, not pre-converted. Converting as you type is where the errors start.
- List every liability the same way. Mortgages, loans and card balances in their own currency. A euro mortgage against dollar assets is a currency position, not just a debt.
- Choose one settlement currency. Pick the single currency you think in — usually where you live or where you will spend the money. Every total will be expressed in it.
- Convert everything at one dated exchange rate. Use the same rate date for every line. Mixing this week’s rate for one account with last month’s for another produces a number that is wrong in a way you cannot see.
- Subtract, then re-run it on a schedule. Assets minus liabilities is your net worth. Because the rates move even when you do nothing, a multi-currency net worth is only meaningful if it is recalculated — not typed once into a spreadsheet.
What to look for in a multi-currency net-worth tracker
- Native-currency storage. Each holding kept in its own currency and converted for display — not stored pre-converted, which destroys the original figure.
- One settlement currency you choose, switchable without re-entering anything.
- Live rates with a visible as-of date, so you know how fresh the total is.
- Liabilities as first-class entries, in their own currency, netted into the total.
- A breakdown by currency and by custodian, so concentration is visible rather than implied.
- A privacy model you can live with. Anything that aggregates your accounts holds a map of your entire financial life; know whether it needs your bank credentials to work.
How WealthMap does it
WealthMap is built multi-currency from the ground up. You hold assets in any of 12 currencies, and it shows one combined net worth in the settlement currency you pick, converted at live rates with the rate date on display. Liabilities sit in their own currency and net into the total. Alongside the total you get the breakdown by currency and custodian, a cash-flow forecast, and your runway — how long your money lasts at your current spend.
It does not connect to your bank and never asks for banking passwords: you enter figures yourself, or send a screenshot and let the AI assistant fill the form. That is a deliberate trade — manual effort in exchange for there being no credentials to steal — and it is why the paid plans start at US$12.49/year rather than the several hundred that account-aggregation licensing costs.
Being straight about the free plan: it shows your full net worth, every chart, your runway and your cash-flow forecast on real data — but it holds one currency, one account and up to five assets. Genuine multi-currency starts on the paid plans (two currencies at US$12.49/year, up to ten at the top). See Pricing for the full ladder.
Compare it with the alternatives
