Net Worth by Age 50
Net worth benchmarks at 50 and strategies for the home stretch to retirement.
By age 50, the median net worth is about $170,000 and the average exceeds $800,000. The rule of thumb: 6x your annual salary saved. At 50, you can make catch-up contributions to 401(k) ($30,500 total in 2026) and IRA ($8,000 total). Home equity is often the largest asset. This is the critical decade to maximize savings before retirement.
