Net Worth in Hong Kong: What to Track
Hong Kong residents build wealth through property, investments, MPF, and savings. With no capital gains tax, investment growth is fully retained. A net worth tracker brings everything together.
Property is often the dominant asset
Hong Kong property prices are among the world's highest. For homeowners, property equity (market value minus outstanding mortgage) frequently represents the largest portion of net worth. Even a small flat can be worth millions of HKD. Track market value based on recent transactions for similar properties in your building or area.
MPF accumulates over your career
While individual MPF contributions are capped at HKD 1,500/month (employee share), the balance grows over decades with employer contributions and investment returns. Check your MPF balance through your scheme trustee. Including it in net worth gives a more complete picture, even though access is restricted until age 65.
Investment portfolios benefit from zero capital gains tax
Stocks (HKEX and international), bonds, funds, and other investments grow without capital gains tax in Hong Kong. The full market value represents your asset without a deferred tax liability. This makes tracking straightforward - just use current market values.
Mortgage is typically the largest liability
Given Hong Kong property prices, mortgages can extend to 30 years with substantial outstanding balances. Tracking the declining mortgage against your property's market value shows your equity position. Interest rate changes (HIBOR-linked or prime-linked) can affect monthly payments and total cost.

Enter bank savings (HKD, USD, and any other currency accounts), MPF balance, investment portfolios, property market value, insurance cash value, and any other assets.
List all liabilities
Include mortgage outstanding, personal loans, credit card balances, tax loans, and any other debts. Be thorough for an accurate net worth picture.
Use the currency selector for HKD
The template's built-in currency selector lets you display amounts in HKD. For assets in other currencies (many Hong Kong residents hold USD or other currency deposits), convert to HKD at current rates.
Update monthly or quarterly
Monthly for bank accounts and investment portfolios. Quarterly for MPF and property estimates. Hong Kong property transactions are publicly available, making periodic valuation updates straightforward.
Track the trend over time

Common Questions
Net Worth Tracker for Hong Kong - FAQ
Should I include MPF in my net worth?
Yes. MPF is your money, even with restrictions on early withdrawal (generally only accessible at 65, with some exceptions). Including it gives a complete picture. Track it alongside "liquid net worth" (excluding MPF and property) for a view of accessible assets.
How do I value my property?
Check recent transactions for similar units in your building or estate on the Centaline or Midland websites, or the Land Registry. Government Rating and Valuation Department also publishes property indices. Subtract your outstanding mortgage for your equity position.
Should I include my car?
Cars in Hong Kong depreciate and are expensive to maintain (insurance, parking, tunnel tolls). If you include it, use realistic resale value. Many people exclude vehicles from net worth calculations since they're depreciating consumption items.
How do I handle multi-currency assets?
Many Hong Kong residents hold HKD, USD, RMB, and other currency deposits. Convert all to HKD (or your preferred tracking currency) at current exchange rates. Since HKD is pegged to USD, that conversion is straightforward. Update other currency conversions periodically.
How often should I update?
Monthly for liquid assets and debts. Quarterly for MPF. Property can be updated quarterly or when you notice significant market movements. Consistency matters more than frequency.
