How to Calculate Target Net Worth

The formula was derived from research by Thomas J. Stanley and William D. Danko in their 1996 book "The Millionaire Next Door" which studied the behavior of American millionaires and found that the real rich tend to accumulate wealth according to this formula.

Calculation example

Persons aged 40 years Income 600,000 baht/year:

  • Expected Net Worth = 40 × 600,000 ÷ 10 = 2,400,000 baht
  • PAW: More than that. 4,800,000 baht
  • UAW (Under Target): Less than 1,200,000 baht

Note: This formula is a guideline for Americans. Application to Thai context should consider different cost of living and income structures.
