The Equity section of the Net Worth tab shows seven columns:
- Net Worth – Calculated as the difference between Total Assets, including cash values from life insurance policies, and Total Liabilities.

- Total Taxes – The sum of the personal estate taxes and the corporate deferred taxes columns.
- Insurance Personal – The amount paid from personal insurance policies upon death. This amount is calculated as the Death Benefit column minus Cash Value column.
