Net worth history and snapshots

How Oinkly's snapshots record your net worth over time so you can see the real trend — starting with a baseline and reading the change over months.

A single net-worth figure is useful; watching it move over time is where the motivation comes from. Oinkly does this with snapshots.

What a snapshot is

A snapshot is a saved record of your net worth on a given date. It doesn't change afterwards, so it's an honest record of where you stood — which is what lets you track real progress rather than day-to-day wobble.

Getting started with history

Your first snapshot is your baseline — the starting line everything else is measured against. Capture one early, then add snapshots over time (or let Oinkly capture them), and the history page charts the trend. You can view the change since your first snapshot, since the previous one, and against your highest recorded figure.

Reading the history

The chart lets you toggle series — total net worth, investable net worth, property equity, pensions and more — over ranges from one month to all time. A category table shows how each part of your wealth moved between snapshots, and any snapshot flagged with a warning is one where something looked off (for example a missing valuation) so you can check it.

Good to know

Checking once a month is plenty — snapshots taken too often just capture noise. Because you enter balances yourself, the trend is most meaningful if you update your figures on a regular rhythm.
