IN PLAIN ENGLISH
Draws your net worth day by day, from the points the dashboard writes down each time it's opened. It's the Line Chart widget with Net worth over time picked as its data.
WHY IT HELPS
Shows whether everything you own is growing or shrinking against what you owe, in one line — including the things (a flat, a pension) that have no price history of their own.
HOW IT'S CALCULATED
One point a day: Net Worth = total assets − total liabilities, as the Total Assets widget shows it, recorded once everything is priced (see Net Worth Over Time). The line starts the day recording began and isn't back-filled; days you didn't open the dashboard are simply missing. Change and % run from the first point in the chosen range to the last.
