Contextual Insight

You are doing better than the majority of your peers. Stay consistent with your savings to reach the upper decile.

The Social Media Distortion

Instagram and YouTube often show the top 0.01%, not the top 10%. Seeing a 25-year-old with a Lambo creates a false 'normal'. In reality, the median net worth for someone under 30 in Germany is around 10,000€. If you have an emergency fund and a small portfolio, you are already ahead of most.

Detailed Methodology & Calculation Logic

Data Normalization Logic

Our benchmarks are derived from the latest regional wealth and savings data provided by central banks and national statistics offices.

  • Median (50th Percentile): The 'middle' value where half of the age-matched population has more and half has less wealth/savings.
  • Top 10% (90th Percentile): The threshold required to enter the top decile of wealth for your specific age bracket and region.
Percentile Estimation

The tool uses linear interpolation between key statistical milestones to estimate your specific percentile rank.

  • Regional Weighting: Adjusts for local economic factors across countries like Germany, USA, UK, Canada, Australia, and Switzerland.
  • Comparison Ratios: Calculates your position as a percentage of the median (e.g., 200% of median) to provide a clear indicator of relative financial health.
